Clementines in a Row

I'd bought a lot of fruits that day: figs, satsumas, and pumpkins. Knowing they wouldn't last, I set them up and painted them simultaneously as separate compositions along the shelf. Daylight was a little too dark too, so I augmented it with a soft daylight studio light source. With the absence of sharp shadows, I was able to extend brushstrokes across the fruit and create gentle colour harmonies.
