This started on a dull yellowish brown ground. I don't know if you can see that as I had to wipe off the first sketch when the apple was not centered right. Painting from life helps you see a lot more variation in colors. Painting from a photo helps you frame and position the image better. I would still rather paint from life even though I have a tendency to push it as shown in this painting.

Great colors in this painting. Makes me want to paint apples! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, appreciate that coming from someone who knows a thing or two about color.
DeleteGreat work Carlene, love the colours you use to portray white! I have found that I also work better from life too, which means spending an awful lot of money on flowers.
