Black and White rendering

This is the photo I am working from.  Theme is red riding hood. 

just showing my process for my B&W painting. So far, we're only placing the wash and gradually adding layers and layers of paint. Overall, painting is frustrating me but hopefully at the end of 113A i will be able to get the hang of it. Paint, paint, paint.

things to do:
-darken the lower and upper left.
-more contrast
-paint the apples as "apples"
-make the plate feel like porcelain. had a light glow?
-plate is too bumpy, more oval.
-cloth in basket needs to be more light.
-fix negative shape between the plate and cup.
-more smooth gradations
