Ripe bosc

This afternoon I set out to paint this pear, thinking it would be easy. Ha! That's when you get taught a lesson! lol I had it lit from both sides and after playing around with it for a while realized I needed to shut off one of the lamps for clearer molding of the form. Pears are so lovely to paint...

Ceux qui pensent que de peindre une pomme, une poire est simple... qu'ils nous montrent...
J'aime beaucoup la touche sur le fruit et le choix des couleurs.

I am loving your palette knife work! I just try to add a few bits of highlights, and I feel like I'm painting with my left hand. Definitely need more practice! As everyone has commented, I like the looseness that one gets when using a knife. You've done a great job. I like the simplicity of the orange and blue in this one.
