Re: ^^^ Painting Tips: for Dummies ^^^
Not bad. You had the right idea but I do have to say that it was too busy. I think you put too much fruit in it; more than what was needed. When I used to make collages, my goal would be to balance everything in it without having a border. Like I usually use Triangle shape (i.e. 3 objects of each category in triangular shape). This usually balances them out.
There are some light colored objects in there (lemon, flower, etc) and that is what the eye sees first. So if this was not your intention, try to balance out the colors so that eye is not in one place and sees all of the balanced things. Other than that, not bad. 6 hours?
