This is how the piece looked before class.
I worked on the background and on the bottom right leaf in class. I added darks and lights to make leaves and apples pop forward or to move them back into space. I worked on the upper left corner erasing some of the color and I added dark to the upper right corner.
I added some leaves and branches after class. I kept the amount of leaves and branches simple for class so that you would not be overwhelmed with so many leaves and branches. Not sure if I will add more, might add some on the right side and upper left.
I added some yellow and red lightly to the background. I added more white to the highlights. I lifted some darks that were too strong.
I lowered the contrast of the branches and leaves as they went off the page. This helps stop these shapes from being roadways out of the artwork.
I worked on some edges and added more color to some of the dark areas.
I re-add white to the highlights throughout the process and then again at the end before I spray workable fixative and frame the piece.
