I decided to paint three citrus fruits together to give me an opportunity to explore a few different bright colours. I started with the lemon. I think I got the roundness and shape of the lemon ok. Of the three subjects on the page I think it looks the most three dimensional. I had a go at disappearing edges and tried to keep the reflected light on the edges in shadow. I can see how this contributes to a feeling of 3- dimensions. Definitely something to practise more as I’m finding it difficult to keep the paint to the parts I want it to be in, while keeping highlights bright. When painting the lime and the orange I tried to limit my colour palette to keep the colours cleaner and brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sweet pepper was one of those subjects that looks relatively simple but isn’t really at all. It was a good challenge to try to capture all the light reflections I tried to do some disappearing edges with varying degrees of success. The edges are definitely lacking in crispness, but I can understand the effect I was trying to achieve and can practise this more in future, I tried again to limit my colours and to avoid muddy shadows, but then I ignored my own rule at the end and started messing about with the darker shadows and ended up with a real mess in places that I had to try to lift off and fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I was more successful at building up intensity of colour on this subject than in my previous assignment, but I still found I reached a point when the painting refused to take any more layers of colour. I’d have liked the red pepper to have been more vivid, but I didn’t want to mess about with it too much more. I feel like it’s a bit overworked already. I’m happy with the attempt though and I feel like it was a good challenge to have a go at. The little chilli pepper, I tried to just keep it simple. I liked the curl of the stem and thought it made a nice contrast to the larger pepper.
