I started the sketch in early morning. It was a challenge to capture the shadow patterns on the fruit because they changed quickly as the sun continued to rise. The colours in my paintbox were good for this subject though. After the sketch was partially painted, I just couldn't help myself, I had to include lines. I love line drawings!
Colours used are by M. Graham. They are: azo orange, azo yellow, napthol red, and dioxazine purple. The green is a mix of sap and azo yellow.
