Apple and Lunch Sack - Daily Painting - by Darren Maurer

6" x 8"

I have used brown paper lunch bags as subjects in the past. I like painting the brown kraft paper. It has shades of tan, pink, orange, brown, and blues and I kept my brushwork quite painterly on the paper bag. I tried a different technique this time when I painted the apple. I usually paint from dark to light finishing with the highlights. This time I started with my brightest lights and finished with my darks. I have to admit I did hit the highlight with one real quick brush stroke to finish the painting. This is painting 199 in my Painting A Day Series. Painting Sold.
