Here, a green glaze was applied over the apples. Yellow ochre and green were mixed to make yellow-green. Glazing liquid was added. With a large flat brush, the apples were covered with the green glaze. A blue glaze was mixed and brushed onto the plate. Gather a few fruits or vegetables that are similar in values. You will want to determine value differences that the light makes as it shines onto the surfaces of those objects from one direct source of light, such as a window.
(1) Paint a line drawing with a thin solution of paint and water.
(2) Determine which areas (planes) are midtones. Paint them. Next, paint the darkest values. Then, add white to make the lightest values. Allow this layer to dry completely. (3) Paint a full value study using light values, middle values, and the dark values that you see in the shadows and shaded areas of the foreground and background. Allow to dry completely. (4) Mix a color and add a large amount of glazing liquid into it. The glazing liquid will thin the paint without changing the color. Apply the color glaze over the black, white, and gray value study.
