Okay, these don’t look too much like apples! This painting was done on an 8×8 canvas panel, and is based off a reference photo on Ali Kay‘s Fresh Paint site.

This painting was done on an 8×10 canvas, and is based off a reference photo on Ali Kay‘s Fresh Paint site. Ali will demo her version of this stack of pancakes and blueberries in a few days; I wanted to do my own version).

I’m happiest with the blueberries, which I painted with Anthraquinone Blue straight from the tube, Ultramarine Blue, and Ultramarine Blue with Titanium White. For the syrup, I used a glazing medium with Liquitex’s Raw Sienna.
