the objects in this painting were the Apples. the picture clearly depicts 3 different colored apples all sides by side. the media used for this project was water colors. one new skill that was learned the hard way was shading. Another was putting the lighter colors on first then the darker ones over top. Some of the art elements used were balance, color, and shapes. The mood this painting gives off is a very simple peaceful feeling. The mood portrays the Apple's were drawn on a sunny day outside. This project was important because the art skills of proper shading and colorsing were acquired. Also how to put the lighter colors first rather than the dark.
