Fruit Bowl Study

Pears, apples and an orange sit in a blue striped bowl on a wooden table. A red apple, half an orange and a folded tea towel rest in front. The shapes are big and round, so it's a good first painting. Your paint stays inside the lines, so one fruit won't spill into the next.

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 cream. Paint the table light brown, then add its board lines with Darker.
2. Paint the bowl blue. Add its shade low down and inside the rim with Darker.
3. Paint the pears yellow and the apples red. Use orange for the whole orange and the cut half. Add the shade on each fruit with Darker.
4. Paint the leaves green. Paint the tea towel cream with orange-brown stripes, then add its folds with Darker.
5. Draw the stems with the Pencil and the darkest colour. Dab a small white shine on each apple with Gouache.
