An apple a day?!

Trying to do more of these small studies - thought I could paint one outside, but it's 42 degrees C (107 F) today, so it was much more comfortable inside - a shadow box is very useful! Learning how important the background is as well.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on June 5, 2014 at 19:23: Thanks so much Julia & Ann for your encouraging comments!

Comment by Ann Turner on June 5, 2014 at 15:56: Great job doing the texture on the apple while still making it look shiny and clean color. The dark red background makes it stand out, the variegation of color on the background also adds interest.

Comment by Julia Childers on June 5, 2014 at 14:01: Great job, Jessica! Nice brush strokes, shadows....lovely apple

Silvana, I won't be able to do one every day, so meantime I haven't joined the workshop. I found out tonight that painting a green apple is much easier for me than painting a dark red apple! This one didn't get eaten yet!
