Description
After many years, I have started painting again. Like half a decade. This one is a watercolour painting, which is still a work in progress. I used to hate watercolours a lot before, but it seems I am slowly getting the hang of it now.
It took me about 90 minutes to get to this stage. I still have to fill in the background, and I'm wondering how to go about it. I'm not that good with perspectives and backgrounds, so any suggestions are welcome.
(if you are a traditional artist who uses/ has used watercolours, please comment below)
Note: The apple on top looks like it is placed on top of the bottom right apple but it is not. That apple was actually placed on a small wooden block which was behind the two apples in the foreground.

Beautiful work, it has been made with passion and watercolor are that outstanding effect it provides. Great job!
Background can be composed of a blend of two or 3 colors that appear in the fruits. Background can be leaves of the apple tree. Background can be home's objects like plates, glasses, table. Background can be abstract.

I am glad you like my work.
This is what I was looing for at that point of time, for some kind of direction in the painting. Thank you for your valuable feedback. I appreciate it very much. ^^

You are welcome. Background is part of the composition and can be realized at first, whilst or after the main element is done. It can be part of the main element sometimes, or having a layer of color in common with the main element. It is always better to think about the background before starting the painting.

Okay, I will keep that in mind the next time I plan to paint something.
I didn't study color theory or composition during my course in college, so this is just something I'm learning through online resources. I'm always looking to learn new techniques.
Thanks again!

Thank you! I do hope so, it feels like rediscovery. I'm a little rusty and just need more practice I guess...
That's okay, I understand. Yeah, I did glance through the rules but I didn't realize that I had crossed the submission limit. Sincerest apologies!

Thank you! I always appreciate your support
I was having second thoughts about uploading this, since traditional art is not really my forte and I am more comfortable with photography. But stepping out of that comfort zone every now and then seems like a good thing. I realized the only thing that holds an artist back is self-doubt!

Wow, they look so realistic! The colours are blended beautifully. (I'm not actually an artist, so this is an uninformed opinion). I really like this one!
