Red Pear (detail)
I used a very similar technique as I did on yesterday’s pear. The main difference was that I buffed some of the layers of glaze, instead of just blotting them. I also wet some of the layers a bit and lifted them off, when the color got too opaque. It’s kind of tricky, timing-wise, when working with acrylic, but not impossible if you’re careful and you don’t let the paint try completely.
Reds and yellows are hard for me to work with, because I always feel like I’m mixing ketchup and mustard. Strangely enough, the thought of ketchup, mustard, and pears just isn’t as appealing as one might think.
