In this workshop we are first going to consider lots of compositional ideas and guidelines, arranging and lighting our fruit on a transparent plate with different coloured backgrounds.  We will be looking to create interesting and unusual compositions, shadow shapes and colour relationships. 

We will then sketch out our composition on canvas, before applying the paint in a dynamic and interesting way: Focusing on colour mixing, brushwork and how to paint shadows effectively.
