Three Apples No. 01

Today I wanted to choose a simpler object to paint. So here we have some apples. I was excited to try the shadows and my “no background” background. I was quite pleased with how the shadows turned out. I remember when I first started oil painting a year ago, shadows were the first thing I realized I had no idea how to render. I’m also digging the light background color and how it contrasts with the apples. I chose perylene red, India yellow, transparent red oxide, viridian, yellow green, blue black, and titanium white. It was interesting to try to paint the apples, since they were a mix of different reds, yellows, oranges.
