Pear puns are a riot, no? No? Ok. Painting pears is always a treat for me since they're not quite round, not quite heart shaped. Every bump and dip of irregularity is gorgeous and luscious. Almost as good as they taste. This is a little demo I did for my Explorations in Oil class. I was showing my students how to make objects feel rooted together - instead of graphic depictions merely floating in space - by introducing surrounding color into surface areas. Red into green and green into red.
