Apples on the Tree (Oil Bar Painting as of October 28, 2015




Here is the painting I am working on.  I am painting these apples from a photo that I took at Long Hill Gardens recently.  (My reference photo is posted here, on October 18.) This is oil bar on a small canvas, 8 x 10 inches. Today I started by toning down the yellow highlights with some white, to make it look more like sunlight through branches.  Then I went back to the "tomato red" I started with, and stumbled it over the apples, to brighten them up.  And I added some pink and white highlights to the apples. Then I mixed up some yellow-green and some more leaves to the painting. To be continued. . . .
