Exercise: Flesh and stone

Step 1

Draw the halved avocado, showing the double skin and the stone. Mark the highlight with a dotted line to remind you not to paint over it.

Mix a pale lemon wash for the flesh, and while still wet drop tiny amounts of acid green (lemon yellow and Prussian blue) around the perimeter.

Step 2

The stone is a mottled brown and extremely shiny. Avoiding the area with the dotted line, build up the colour in layers of brown washes, finishing by stippling the darker areas.
