Can We Paint Like Old Masters  Still Life With Garlic

A watercolor painting? Does it look like an Old Masters Still Life? Yes, I kept that style, but used the medium of my passion. Garlic and Olive Still Life. I have carefully observed the object before painting, then drew the outlines covering with making and worked first on the background giving it a good wash of the grand mixture of Burnt Siena, Raw Amber, Ultramarine Blue, and Violet Winsor&Newton Artist grade watercolor. After the background dried I worked on the objects employing my favorite techniques: first wet-on-wet, then wet-on-dry, and at the end dry brush applications. This helped to achieve a maximum potential for this realistic painting.
