Orange Study

Continuing with the Christmas Season fruit studies as I avoid the sometimes -30C temperatures... this is the first stage of Oranges. 

You can see that it is still wet following the wash of water applied over pastel. I really like that the brush strokes are evident at this stage.

Beginning to shape the objects and work their values.

Closer to completion just playing with the mat that they are set up on.

Happy with the finished piece and ready to find another fruit for study. 

Happy Painting  :)

Beautiful still life
Sounds like you use water in your underpainting
what is your surface
what do you do for mounting if you are using paper
To prevent buckling or bowing
Thanks

Thanks for your comment Kathy. I use Wallis paper. It stands up to a great deal of use. I use either water or rubbing alcohol in my under paintings. I find the alcohol dries quickly. To keep the paper from buckling I either tape it to a board with masking tape (when using alcohol) or I use butchers tape after wetting the paper to stretch it slightly. Hope that helps! :)
