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!
