When you see a big bowl of shiny apples,
what is your first thought?
School days…fall weather…apple cider… apple pie…
When I see a bowl of apples it just makes me happy,
like things are right with the world…
When I saw this magazine page,
I decided to paint a bowl of peaceful, happy apples…
No sketch today, I just started painting shapes of color
When I got to this point I used colored pencils
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!
