Step 1. The Foundation
A foundation grisaille of Indigo Blue is applied to the apple in the darkest areas to build the round form.

 

Step 2. Complete the Form
Black Grape, Tuscan Red and Pink are added to the grisaille. Limepeel is then layered on top of the foundation color.

     

 

 

Step 3. Finish the Apple
>Apple Green, Limepeel and Canary Yellow make up the local color of the green apple. Touches of the foundation colors are reapplied for interest.
