Okay, since it’s been all about peaches this week on the Painted Apron, you probably saw this coming…
A peach painting~
Peaches are fascinating to me because if you look closely you can see many different colors in their skins
This Waterlogue version of the original photo really emphasizes the various colors
Experimenting with different photo editing filters is great for artistic inspirations
I printed the 2 photos for reference while I was painting
Most of my acrylic paintings begin with a black gesso underpainting
A simple color block backgound of blues and green makes the colorful peaches pop
The bright lime was mixed from Cerulean blue and Cadmium Yellow Medium
I like to let the black peek through for drama
Next came layers of exaggerated tones of pink, peach, yellow, orange and red, using mixtures of Cad Orange, Cad Yellow Med, Permanent Rose, Cad Red Light and Titanium white
This canvas is 10″ x 10″ and I wanted the painting to be fast and loose so I painted it quickly without any fuss, just large blocks of color
Final highlights and leaves
