Start with a light wash of lemon yellow adding in a

light wash of cadmium red. The object of this

exercise is to build up layer over layer of pigment

Continue with strokes which follow the shape of the

apple adding more and more pigment. Avoid using

too much water as you risk just moving the pigment

around and not adding to it.
