Painting A Yellow Apple
Reflected Light and add the darkest point
Clean your brush before you apply clean water to wash away some of the paint color at the bottom of the apple to show light reflection from the surface under and around the apple. Be sure to brush softly, take your time, and not damage the watercolor paper surface.
Then use the tip of the brush to paint into the apple stem and its shadow area.
Add texture
Are you satisfied with the value and color balance of the painting? Now is the time to add the final touch - texture. If your apple is has speckles, make little dots of brown where the speckles appear. Sign your name to your beautiful apple painting!
Sometime is important to know when to stop painting. Sit back, look at your painting from distance.
