Pomegranates wip 1

Pomegranates wip 1, originally uploaded by alida saxon.

I needed a break from a larger project, so I started on this little piece (6"x6"). I begin with white, sorting out my brights and giving a foundation that makes it easier to work with yellows on black paper. Most of the yellows tend to be terribly transparent, and need a little help.

As for composition, I changed it a little from the photo I took. I shifted the horizon line so it didn't run right into the edge of the cut pomegranate. More later!
