Kiwi Slices



Oil on panel

Painting slices of citrus fruit of any kind is good practice, but kiwi slices seem to be especially good to paint. There is quite a difference in textures between the skin and the inside of the fruit, plus the variation in translucent green color and value to capture as well.

Thanks! Greens can be tricky. I use black and various yellows for some greens... also ultramarine mixed with yellows. I don't subscribe to that "don't use black" rule.

I'm not very good in Oil painting and always surprised to see how natural you can paint with oil colors.
This one is too good.
