For filling take a large flat brush, and detail brush smaller.Start with the background and slightly changing the tone, move on to the tablecloths and large parts of fruit. Draw objects of a similar color, tone and choose a color based on background color, not to lose the overall color of the picture. Where lies the shadow, apply the color with watercolors.
3. Then proceed with the plot, which draw all the right colors. Apply the paint without shadows, do not forget to leave white space. Set the color of the fruit and pitcher of drink. Contrast color and white spots slightly blur to soften the transitions and edges.When I paint a watercolor still life, remember that all items influence each other - their color as it moves from one to another. The shade is also not black, they absorbed the color of objects and environment and have their own color.
4. Some sites modify washings, especially where there is white. Enhance the color of fruits and items, and make other improvements drawing with a brush and watercolor paint. Draw the contours of all objects, but not dramatically, and so they merged with the neighboring.Put the picture and look at it in a few hours - you will definitely find that it is necessary to modify and correct. Watercolor can be corrected at any time. After some time to rest my eyes from your still lifeand will see things differently.
