A whole avocado and a cut half sit on a wooden board. Beside them are two red tomatoes, still on the vine. A blue and white striped cloth peeks out underneath. The shapes are big and round, so it's a good first painting. Your paint stays inside the lines, so the red tomatoes won't spill onto the board.

How to paint it

  1. Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Make the brush big and paint the wall behind cream.
  2. Paint the board light brown, then add the shadows beside the fruit with Darker. Paint the stripes on the cloth blue-green.
  3. Paint the whole avocado and the peel dark green. Paint the cut flesh light green, and pale yellow-green near the seed.
  4. Paint the tomatoes red, then add their shade on the right with Darker. Paint the seed brown and the leaves green.
  5. Add the vine stems with the Pencil in dark green. Dab a small white shine on each tomato with Gouache.
