Clementine etude



Today I worked on the clementine etude. Winter is the best season for clementine, its smell reminds me holiday time and frosty mornings. I like its vivid sunny color and saturated green leafs. 


I tried to depict  juicy slices furrowed with white contrast streaks. The texture of the peel shimmers in the light, its glance surface reflect the light and highlights the volume. Orange and green tones fusing together make a perfect color harmony of the fruit. 


I used an oval canvas for a circle composition. Still thinking about color of the background. I feel it shall be more light and cold, perhaps I refuse the wooden tabletop.
