Peppers

I have finally put paint to paper, and here is where I am with it: after covering the highlights (I used a Masquepen, with blue masking fluid), I applied 5 or 6 glazes, starting with Cadmium Red Pale Hue (which gives quite a vibrant orange), and Phthalo Blue (a good basis for greens) for the darker elements. Then, I added good strong glazes of Aureolin yellow.

The shapes are starting to come out now, and I realise I'm going to need more red and blue glazes for shadows to give each pepper a more 3-dimensional feel.
