I really like the pepper I did. Even though it was a small study, it was the first one i really think I did a good job on.
I am still working on the White Objects painting and I find it difficult to get the right color or shade of white that matches the actual object's color. It is a little hard to make the fabric look like it has texture and folds on it. I also have trouble making the shadows and highlights really stand out. However, I am learning day by day and I am getting a little better. I am making my way.
I have improved on color mixing and showing different textures of the cloth in the White Objects Painting through varying the brushstrokes. I have also used wet brush to effectively mix colors and dry brush to blend colors together.
Looking at paintings made throughout history have a huge impact on us as painters today. Seeing others paintings gives us painters inspiration to make great paintings. We receive an insight to the artist's mind, emotions, and views through the abstract and surrealistic paintings. Seeing many painting like Starry Night and Sunflower by Van Gogh and many others helps bring out our creativity.

i agree with everything that you said and i can tell that you put alot of though in to this.
you have made a lot of progress. don't forget that sometimes it's not about making the exact color you see but about using the relationships between different colors to create the illusion of the color. and don't be afraid to screw it up, put too much paint on, or go too fast. save the details for the last minutes.
