Still Life made using "form modeling" method

For this still life, I wanted to try out a method of painting I found out from the website of an artist named Douglas Flynt.
In this method, one makes a drawing on paper of the still life, transfers the drawing to the canvas, and then paints in the objects piece by piece. While I think the method worked, I don't know if I will use it again. For me, it makes the process of painting more mechanical, and not as fun. But on the other hand, it pushed me to get the most detail in a painting I think I have ever attempted.

This greyscale study is done as part of the method to keep in mind the larger value changes to help you along as you paint the forms.
