Painting fruit for my 60th session, I’m a bit pressed for time tonight so I made this one quick and easy.
It seems like any time I paint fruit it is because I’m feeling pressed for time. The drawing goes much faster, and its fun.
So I spent a couple hours today re-arranging my living room/ studio so I could possibly stop the glare on my painting. Unfortunately no matter what I did I was getting some glare. I ended up with my easel back in the same place as before but I changed the light a bit. What really helped the most was putting the canvas lower than my head and tilting it forward a bit. I still get some glare with strokes that go perpendicular to the light, but I can easily move my head left to remove that glare when I need to.
Close enough I believe. I didn’t put too much care into the shadow behind the apple and its not that close, not to mention that apple is a bit big.
I knew that I was making the apple a bit too dark. Actually its way too dark. So is the cast shadow by the orange. Also the drawing of the terminator edges on the orange are way off, I should be better than that.
