Still painting apples! All week i've been working on painting apples with oil paints. Its my first time I used this medium and I really liked how you painted a part of the apple one day, and the next day the paint was still wet! This allowed me to change or add colors the next time and the colors actually blended! It was nice to not feel rushed. However, I'm not sure I liked how thick it was! The apples turned out well, but I painted each apple individually. Next painting I want to work on painting painting "everything at once". I think That will make the painting blend more! Also, I need to add the shadows on the apples and fix the the shadows on the ground. Overall, I'm happy with the piece and I'm excited to paint something different than apples next week!
We have this week off of school and we have to still sketch and draw at home! I decided to still explore this new idea of painting apples, SO I went out and bought some watercolor paints (can you believe I didn't own any?!) and painted this this afternoon. First I left the background white, then I explored painting the background! I can't decide which I like better, So i'll let you choose.
Transitioning from value, we started painting still lives this week! I focused on creating the depth and trasparency that an apple has! I really enjoyed painting them! It was my first time really using water color and I really enjoyed it!!
