Red apple Study #1

 I'm still no pro at painting and maybe never will be, but I definitely felt like I was sculpting this apple.  It started out looking really weird as I tried putting in some values.  But in my next 15 minute session, I got what you see in the next picture.

Here is the final.  I felt like that was good enough for the study to be complete.  I love the apple.  I don't love the dark blue table as much as the lighter white.  I think I will do another apple study.  I also want to do a study of that blue vase I did with a rose recently.  This was great practice.
