Watercolor Painting of Orange Fruits | still life painting watercolor | Art by Farrukh

Watercolor painting is a wonderful way to capture the beauty of everyday objects, such as fruit. Oranges, in particular, are a great subject for watercolor painting, as they offer a range of vibrant colors and textures to work with. In this guide, I'll walk you through the steps to create a beautiful watercolor painting of oranges.

Materials you will need:

Watercolor paper
Watercolor paints (yellow, orange, red, green, and brown)
Paintbrushes (one small and one medium-sized)
Water
Paper towel

Step 1: Sketch the Oranges
Using a pencil, lightly sketch the oranges onto your watercolor paper. Try to capture the round shape and any visible bumps or grooves in the fruit. Don't worry about making the lines perfect - this is just a rough guide for the painting.

Step 2: Paint the First Layer
Using your medium-sized brush, start by wetting the paper within the outline of the oranges. Then, mix a light yellow-orange color and apply it to the damp paper, working quickly to blend the paint while it's still wet. Let the paint dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: Add Depth and Shadow
Using your small brush, mix a darker orange color by adding a bit of red and brown to your original mix. Paint this darker color on the parts of the oranges where there are shadows or deeper grooves. Don't worry about being too precise - the imperfections will add to the overall texture of the painting.

Step 4: Add Details
Using your small brush, add any remaining details such as highlights, and any remaining shadows. This is where you can really make the painting your own, adding any personal touches that you like.

Step 5: Let it Dry
Once you're happy with your painting, let it dry completely before framing or displaying it.

Watercolor painting is all about experimentation and having fun. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and try new things. With a bit of practice, you'll be creating beautiful watercolor paintings of oranges (and other objects) in no time.
