Keep things simple: We are mixing a few values for the warm lights and cooler shadows, but remember because the bowl is white they all need to be close in value, there isn’t a huge contrast between light and shadow.

Organise your palette: The better organised and laid out your colours, the easier it will be to choose them when painting. If space constraints are an issue, consider using paper plates as a practical solution. Allocate a separate plate for each set of values, ensuring a clear and accessible setup for your painting sessions. This method not only optimizes your workspace but also enhances your ability to work with precision and focus.

Keep cleaning: Make sure your palette remains clean, and your brushes!

Don’t worry too much about edges, we can tidy them up when we apply the background.
