Watercolor Painting, My Way!: Still Life, Bowl of Fruit: L3/12

Author: Rod Webb, Associate Editor

A mix of Burnt Sienna/French Ultramarine is placed along the dry yellow wash.

Using a damp brush, one edge is softened.
Several brush strokes may be required to get softened edge.

We now have two bananas separated with a shadow, which also gives one some shape.
Paint could also be applied to dry paper without softening if a sharp edge was required.

Build up the banana's using the methods shown.
1. Apply basic wash .
2. Add shades of green at stems.
3. Using brown apply shadows and soften.
4. Paint in darker stalk and end's leaving hard edges.
