Fearless Friday, Life is just a bowl of Apples!
When you see a big bowl of shiny apples, what is your first thought?
School days…fall weather….apple pie…USA?
When I see a bowl of apples it just makes me happy, like things are right with the world…
So when I saw this magazine page, I decided to paint myself a bowl of peaceful, happy apples…
No sketch today, I just started painting shapes of color
When I got to this point I got a little stuck…
So decided to use some colored pencil to deepen the darks and add contrasts
Now I wasn’t happy with the bowl
So I went back and added more watercolor
This washed out and blended the pencil strokes where I didn’t want them
I added leaf details, stems and shadows
Life is just a bowl of apples!

How wonderful it must be to pick up your brushes and start painting! Such pretty apples,I feel like I could just pick one out of the bowl for a snack.
Have a lovely weekend Jenna……….
Jenna, I just love your bowl of apples! I like to wash and slice up an apple for a snack with extra sharp cheddar…happy weekend!

I love your bowl of apples Jenna! I’m amazed you painted them without drawing them first! Hope you have a happy & peaceful weekend 🙂
Amazing! What I wouldn’t give for just an ounce of your talent! Have a great weekend! 🙂 ~Rhonda
I found my paints today Jenna and am itching to pick up my paintbrushes again. Love them apples! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Starting an early morning with your creative effort has made me very happy. I needed that!
It’s always great to see how you get to your final painted picture. Sometimes we take a new direction unexpectedly with our creations. 🙂
Someday I hope I can paint this well! Just beautiful!
Thank you Chloe! >
