Apple and Onion

Hello, there! This is a still life of an apple and an onion by yours truely, Natasha Kirke. This piece was done using watercolours and crayons, though I cropped the picture and adjusted the brightness in Photoshop. Why such different materials? Well, I decided it would be interesting to do the entire still life with different materials. Not only would the textures be different but gives each fruit (or vegetable) a unique identity. Originally I was going to do more fruit with different materials but in my attempt to make the fruit realistic I ran out of time. If I could have continued the painting I would have probably done some of the fruit in pencil, charcoal, however I am pleased with the result - it's simple and affective, in my opininon.
