This is not original work. Not a mater copy either, but it is inspired by Jon Redmond. You can see his work here. I love his use of hatched color and soft versus crisp edges. So I setup a similar still life and emulated him. I learned a lot doing this.
My guess from looking at his work is that he makes a loose value painting in neutrals then paints alla prima on top, going from large brushes and strokes to final details with a thin brush or palette knife. I did basically the same, although I went from loose to tight with the paint drying in between the layers.
“Silver” – about 25 hours, oil on canvas, 55 x 60 cm
The study – about 50 minutes – the funny thing is I painted the study after I painted the final, which of course is backwards. But I had extra paint left over that I liked and wanted to use up some of it instead of trashing it.

I think a few dark spots of color placed in the right spots would make more contrast in the silverware and make it pop. Now, the composition makes the centerpiece feel a bit lonely as it floats in the darkening background. It’s still a very nice piece.

The technique on the upper is really good in spots.
The backlit knife and fork on the viewer’s upper right are especially well done.I only regret not drinking more champagne -
