Here is the finished painting that I did today.
After I posted my previous post, I painted the tablecloth and then started on the apple tart itself. First I took off all the masking fluid.
I started with a thin layer of lemon yellow and let that dry. It didn't take long. Then I went over sections of it in yellow ochre. While I was waiting for that to dry, I painted the sauce on the plate.
When that was dry I went over sections of the tart on the left with burnt umber, and also a few parts on the right, and the shadow underneath the plate.
When the sauce on the plate was dry I added a shadow there on the left. I added shadows sparingly around the edges of the plate.
When that was dry I began working on the ice cream scoop on the top of the tart. I added some grey shadows, making sure to leave some areas white. I added lemon yellow and yellow ochre for the sauce ontop of the ice cream scoop.
I also added stripes to the tablecloth, and then I called it finished. I still had to wait for it to dry, but I'd finished it sooner than I thought I would, and I didn't have to go back after dinner to finish it off.
I hope you like my painting.
Next week it's "square" lemons in acrylic.
I'll have to do the same next week as I did this week, because there's no luncheon club next week due to half term.
What have you lot been getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a great night.

@sharonelton I hope the tarte aux pommes I’ll be eating when I go back to Paris next month will taste as good as yours looks.

@kareng I've been told many times It's not about talent! Anyone can learn to draw and paint. You should give it a try!

Your painting looks good enough to eat! It looks realistic. I hope you are able to set up your online gallery. I have the feeling you will sell some of your work!

I'm hoping to sell some paintings in an online gallery associated with Artists and Illustrators magazine. But I want to make sure I've got a good selection of paintings worth selling first.
