Ok, Thomas - THANKS for the info!

Ok, I've kept my clothes on. Hey, it's getting awfully technical round here - distinguishing betyween the greyish reds and the reddish greys - but maybe easier than calculating refraction indices and angles of incidence with Michael! To say nothing of 'is it ethical to use animal hair brushes?'! Hey, I was still wondering about basic stuff like 'why do Old Holland tubes always spring leaks?' !!!

Ok Jon,
One important clue is to put something on when you paint!
The others i found in vaa form unit 2. painting round shapes in 8 steps.
My main problem was/is that i did not place the highest saturations near the light/shadow edge of the fruit.
Also, when painting the light side one needs to tint the red to get the value up and the color looks so chalky and pinkish on the palette. I always tried to push the saturation by painting it darker. That was wrong. Value is king. On the painting these greyish light reds make the saturated darker red areas come out even more.

Heh; heh - hone of my Brisitsh humor there ;D - just an honest question! You said "When i suddenly saw what the problem was i raised my arms into the air as if i scored a goal. Kept my jersey on though" - and I say what was the prblem/solution?!? Me too want to run round room with arms in air! Why not :) ?

Thanks Michael, great that you remind me of the straight lime segment... I just started another study and drew curves!
Of course i don't mind Michael! I love to be the nerd standing in front of the class being the good example. Everyone hates me exept for Jenny with her braces and metal rims ;-)

Very good studies Thomas.  Please note everyone, how Thomas describes the curved lines with straight line segments .....that is excellent.  Remember, when drawing a curved object like fruit, a road, etc. ...use straight line segments to describe the curve.  Hope you do not mind me using your study as a lesson Thomas?

Ha! If I were to do a slow motion clip, it would just be in real time!
Glad to hear that you kept your jersey on. Excited frauleins is too much of a distraction.
