Unit II, Lesson 9--30 in 30 Challenge. Day Nine, Apple Study #2

Apple Study #2 by Monique Chartier, 6" x 6" oil on stretched linen.
A little, round organic Golden Delicious.  And, I'm caught up!

Step One:  Set up the still life.

Still life set up.
Step Two:  Tone the canvas.  I toned the canvas with Cadmium Yellow Light.

Step Three:  Create a value drawing.

Step Four:  Draw the subject on the canvas.

Step Five:  Block in the subject.

Blocking in the background.

All blocked in.
Step Six:  Refine and add detail as necessary.

Starting to blend and refine.

More definition.
Step Seven:  Sign it.

Done!
