Still life with wine decanter and grapes. Part 2. Final



Hello everybody. Today I want to proceed a narrative about creating an oil painting step by step. This painting is already done at the last week, and here is some photo that shows how exactly it was created in details. 



Last time I stopped at detailing and so I continue.
I detailed grapes, table and almond in the foreground.

Again waiting for drying layer to continue painting. 

And finally let me show absolutely complete view of still life. 


Here I added a dragonfly for the best balance of composition. Finished wine decanter and completely drew all textures and small pieces.
