Third bite of the apple

Another moment grabbed to paint this humble apple and the progress is slllooooowwwww. I've concentrated on building up the colours on the skin of the apple and did a bit more work on the wooden board. Always amazes me how something that appears one colour - the green of the apple in this instance - is actually made up of lots of different colours. A hint of yellow here, a dab of orange there, as well as all the different hues of green. It's only by really looking at something that you start to see all this stuff you didn't notice before - the way the orange of the wood is reflected in the underside of the apple for instance. I'm happy with how the apple's coming along, there's a robustness and solidity there that I like. The shape of the board on the other hand is still a bit crap.
