The cheese looks like one of those gross ones like bleu cheese or gorgonzola. You can almost smell it

Stilton actually, said to be the king of cheeses, but I think it wilted in the heat. Tanka you 2.

is it Stilton? Silly me thinking it was old Brie lol nice grapes
edit: lol really old brie without its white outer layer-I think I'm just craving brie haha

I think you did a nice job on the grapes, maybe if you went a tiny bit darker on the shadowed parts, and be just a little braver with the highlights they'd pop more, but they're good as they are. I love cheese and wine and grapes. That's like a whole total meal, what else do you need?

I like the marble top it's all sitting on. I think you're too hard on yourself, Sweetcell! This is nice. I think the glass is really good, too. If I (oh the beginner drawer that I am) would dare to critique anything...I would say the cheese is kinda large and sorta caved in. I think sometimes once we do a draw, it would look better if we could crop it somehow for the overall composition to be improved. I find that in my draws often to be the case. love, Donna

I noticed when I was painting it it was looking caved in but I thought meh, I'll leave it the way it is, but I did learn a lot from this. Next time I do stiff cheese it won't be melting X), and don't be afraid to critique Donna, your eye is as good as anyones here.

DBA ya, I went first too dark then too light then too dark and was about to puch my monitor *hehe* but me learnin for de next time hey. One thing Cindy, how does one get transparacy, grapes if you look at them are somewhat transparant and that's what I tried to do (and failed) Tips on how to would be so greatly appreciated.

Wow Missd, you noticed it was marble. I'm so gonna make you a cookie.

I will eat any cookie you make me too...lol...

I actually think you got that sort of transparent, frosty diffused glow look that grapes have, it would only be a little more in intensity from dark to light I would go with the shadows and highlights, and maybe make the outer edges of them a little less fuzzy, but the painting is consistent throughout, so I'd just experiment with the next one. I probably don't make any sense, I'd make a terrible teacher. Everything I've ever done was try and fail and try again and again till sometimes I finally got it right, and sometimes not. :)

(I had some cheese in my fridge once that looked like that, but the green stuff wasn't there when I bought it, so I threw it out ... hah :)

Hahahaha, maybe if you were pressed with company coming (and you weren't particularly fond of them) you could have served it and passed it off as French XD.

I agree they kinda look right, maybe I rushed this, but I'll remember your tips. Highlights and shadows in the wrong parts can make things look bad. Definately will remember for next time *smoochies* Cindy.

Don't get me wrong, they aren't in the wrong places at all, I was just thinking a little more intense is all. The overall painting is very pleasing and it is consistent which makes it flow, so, I think you did a nice job. As long as that cheese looked like that when you bought it, I'll have a piece. lol

mmm... Looks tastey. That wine glass looks a little small though, a couple of sips and it's empty.

Port DC, I think it's Port, the ref shows it's darker, that's my guesse.

Any more than a few gulps you'll be eating the cheese DBA threw out ;D

the glass looks too skinny >.>, but the grapes look like you could go and pickem

Damn, that cheese doesn't look tastey. It's well drawn, though. :)

November93, it's a small port glass, small, it's supposed to be small, get it?

Thanks Roy.

Stilton doesn't look appetising I agree, had I spent more time on this (and I admit I should have) there would have been more blue green spots on it. Can we say ewwww?

California.
It's the Cheese. link

missed this one..this is great sweetcell :)
