Still Life Onions Demonstration, Oil Painting lessons

A Still Life Onions demonstration. Here's the start of a new piece in Oil Painting Tips from my easel. A customer contacted the gallery for an order to match another piece they had purchased. I wanted to give here a walk through the entire process. Their instructions were a dark background, grey shelf with onions! We can do that!

Below is the reference set-up.

Then comes the ink drawing which will preserve the base image.
