Apple Study



This is a study I did over a two week period. I used the two basic colors you see in the left hand side. I thinned it down with liquin, and there was very little mixing of paint. I think I overdid it with the Naples Yellow highlights. I think I should've used Cadmium Yellow Medium, as it would've given off more of an orangish yellow as opposed to the bright yellow, but, it was a study nonetheless. Lesson learned. The apple consists of an underpainting of Titanium White mixed with Raw Umber. Then after it dried, I overlaid, and overlaid the glaze.
