I've been working...though not as much as I should...on the violet underpainting. In the first pass I painted the entire painting in violet in the correct values to reproduce the image from my source material. I posted that before the workshop.In that reference the apples are sitting on the back of a sofa in a very sunny window with warm light. I know that the shadows will be cool so I've used alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue in the deepest shadows.
These apples shine more orange in this particular light than red. In Monday's class I'll finish this pass and then go back and probably punch up the highlights. More after that!
