I took the reference photo for this a few months ago. I love painting produce in plastic bags. I decoupage gel prints on a canvas for interesting color and texture, and then proceeded to use R&F Drawing oils over top to create my composition. I used some of my DIY oil paint sticks as well. Here is a tutorial if you want to make some: youtu.be/A0oOAfenEcw?si=Z21rdk6rNikE5kXr
