Tuesday ORANGE. Orange. I really want the sun!

February ends, and soon the calendar spring will come. I want warmth and sun, so I decided to draw oranges. This is generally the first oranges in my life, painted in watercolor Before that, I drew lemons (I think they are similar in execution), but markers. And I drew tangerines, which generally show scary)))

I use the watercolor "Nevskaya Palitra": ultramarine, cadmium lemon, cadmium red, titian, yellow-green, emerald. Watercolor pencils: red, orange, brown, green. White gel pen. Paper Palazzo 280g / m2, 70% cotton.

I begin to draw with the construction of oranges. They can be divided into circles and triangles (leaves and orange segments). When I finished the sketch - I can go to watercolor.

I start to draw from the slices of orange, which can be seen on the cut. I take a few shades of orange and draw a vacuole. Gradually, I move around the entire surface of the cut, I darken a little more at the crust. Then I turn to the whole orange. I type the color from light to dark and on wet paper I add a pencil. I sharpen a pencil on the abrasive paper and shake it off on an orange, I add a little more salt. Similarly, I pass through the remaining oranges.

Now I'm ready to paint the leaves. I pour the outline of the leaf with a light shade of green and add a dark color over the wet paper. And I add a watercolor pencil the same as an orange.

When the first layer has dried up - I shake off the salt and slightly darken the pencil outlines of orange and leaves. I add a shadow under the oranges and leaves. Unfortunately, some of the video with the leaves is not preserved. I pass the white gel pen to the bright places and add some glare to the orange peel. My picture is ready!
