My Peppers

This still life painting features a vibrant arrangement of red, orange, and yellow peppers alongside garlic, capturing their rich colors and textures. As my first oil painting, I focused on blending and layering techniques to bring out the depth and detail in each element. The smooth surface of the peppers contrasts with the rough texture of the garlic, creating an interesting visual balance. This piece allowed me to explore the versatility of oil paint and experiment with light, shadow, and composition, marking an important step in my development as an artist.
