These fall-time paintings are created with realistic watercolor painting that is then outlined by ink and given a textured background to add character.
The hard lights and hard shadows, in combination with the greens and oranges create a unique sense of depth. The splatters across the painting also adds some motion.
The variability of the highlights and shadows from the drips of this candy apple was a challenge that paid off. The light green background also plays nicely with the deep red apple.
