I continued with the adjustments to the hand and started to block in the bowl on the bench top. I was unhappy with the perspective of the bowl and wasn't sure how to fix it. The best advice I could give in these situations is to call in a second pair of eyes as, when an artist is struggling with an aspect of a painting they are sometimes too 'close' to the subject to see it objectively. In this case I called in my wife who pointed out the unusual perspective and suggested that I try to adjust the top of the bowl to the perspective as the foreground figure would see it and not the viewer of the painting which I have attempted to do. I think that it is much better, not perfect maybe, but close enough to make me more content. When it is dry, I shall add the highlights and adjust the tones to make it more 'metal-like'.
