Yesterday afternoon was not the sort of weather for going out in, so I rummaged around in the kitchen and found these - suitable for a still life!
I began by outlining the various shapes and then I put in the highlights; it would be harder to get the same white laying it on top of other colours. For the shading, I used a blue violet on the yellow pepper, a dark crimson on the green one and a bluish green on the red one. This helped to give three-dimensional form and made colours in the lighter areas appear more saturated.
