After a few days of chipping away, the apples are in a good place. As I mentioned in my last post, I have been working on a series of rolling apples on wooden panels. The panels are painted in acrylic and the apples are painted in oil. There are three panels total in this series.
I began with a swatch of all of the colors I started with
Building the base of color with oil paint
I worked on all of the panels together so they would be consistent
Three panels making progress
I wanted a playful coloring book look, so I painted dark green oil paint around each apple to define them.
I will be posting these on my main site soon once they dry (likely a week from now!). In the meantime, I have a great jewelry project coming up for the next post!
