Study "Apples Falling from a Basket"

Oil on canvas panel

Recently I received a complimentary copy of Art Review Magazine.  Although it had a few good articles, mostly it contained paintings for sale by various galleries. One of the paintings advertised for sale was "Apples Spilling From a Basket" by Adam Lehr, painted in 1903.  I decided to do a study.  Not too bad if I do say so myself.

Lots of fun to paint these apples and leaves.  Used a few different techniques to get the look I wanted.  Painted mostly alla prima, but used additional layers of glazing on the background and leaves to get the shading I was looking for.

It was worth taking the time to do a smaller painting first, which you can see here.
