HOW TO PAINT AN APPLE WITH WATERCOLOR - Realistic apple in watercolour, suitable for beginners
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- This easy to follow watercolour tutorial will really boost your confidence even if you are new to watercolor painting. I have used a limited palette to keep things simple. Learning how to paint can be difficult, so my job is to make painting easy. This easy watercolour apple is suitable for beginners so that you can hone in on your watercolour skills. This is a realtime watercolour tutorial, with time lapse for the boring bits. Worried about drawing? No need. I have linked in another tutorial on how to trace down your drawing so that you can press on with watercolour painting.
Materials Used: Daler Rowney 169 lb Mixed Media Paper
Brushes: Number 6, 3 and 2 Spotters (Rosemary & Co)
Paints: All Winsor & Newton: Perylene Green, Winsor Green (Yellow tone), Quinacridone Gold, Transparent Yellow, Paynes Grey, Magenta, Raw and Burnt Umber

Excellent tutorial thanks!
Thank you
ANOTHER thing I love and appreciate about you is how inclusive and considerate you are ❤️ Not many (if any?) have endless supplies of Da Vinci Maestro brushes or sheets upon sheets of Arches paper. Particularly whilst we are learning 😄
Thank you. It’s so important when learning to just dive in. I say ‘use what you have’ a lot because I want art to be accessible for everyone and you don’t always need fancy supplies. Enjoy 😘
Helen thank you so much for generously sharing your talents with all - it comes from the heart and is received with gratitude.
Thank you so much. Glad you like them x
Remember to drop a comment and say hi. Let me know your favourite fruit to paint
such a beautiful and informative tutorial, loved the detailing on apple😍
Thank you very much x
I've had a rough time doing a apple in pastel and colour pencils, so I'm sure it will be helpful! It's that stem region, shading and highlight that beleaguers me every time! I'll try your tutorial in watercolour this next time. Thank you, Helen!
My pleasure
Painted it last night. My first watercoloring! Great explanation!
Thank you
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure x
Ultimate comment from my husband after I did this tutorial - "very realistic, especially the shading". How about a pear, strawberry, or raspberry?
Wow that’s wonderful. I think a pear soon
Have you joined our Facebook group? You can post your paintings there?
Thanks for sharing your beautiful talents. I'm really appreciating all your posts.
Thank you very much. I’m glad you like them x
Helen thanks so very much for teaching! You are so good and your tutorials are helpful.
Thank you 😊
This was brilliant, thank you so much.
My pleasure 😀
Thank you so much for all these you do. I've just started and about the time i panic, you calmly say don't worry about that, it will dry much lighter or it will be alright.......it's very reassuring. I know you aren't speaking directly to me, but every time I get like that, you say something that lets me know it's ok. lol love your work and you're laid back way of teaching/sharing your knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I’m happy to help and glad you find the tutorials enjoyable
very romantic painting , i like the color combination you used that create a peaceful illusion in this artwork. Keep it up, well done , carry on.
Thank you
Will try to paint this tonight :)
Great. Have you joined our Facebook group? You can post your finished painting there 😃
My favorite brand is Sennelier. But I do like Winsor Newton and Daniel Smith. O liked these two until I discovered Sennelier. But Shinhan 652 Bright Violet beats many other brands. Beautiful color.
I have to confess that I’m a little bit fickle these days. I tend to flit between one another now LOL
Wow, yanno Helen, this is probably the first thing I really set out to paint. Three months ago, I didn't know the difference between raw umber or burnt umber (which is one reason my apple looked manky) and even as detailed as you are here, I didn't understand things like I better understand now. I'm happy to say this morning, I turned out a nice, respectable green apple, even though a few months ago, I struggled with this quite a bit. It's the first time I found myself thinking "Yes, I CAN do this!". Such a good feeling! Thanks so much for your invaluable help in reaching this pivotal moment. 😘
Oh that’s amazing! Can you share it in our group? I’d love to see but understand if you don’t want to. I’m so happy that you are making progress 🌸
Ah, thanks! I'm going to try one more version later now that I've quinacridone gold. I used burnt seinna in the last one and the stem isn't quite as I wanted it. I'd be glad to scan it and slap it up in our group page, Helen! 😁
@@michaelklein5242 wonderful. Can’t wait to see it x

Great work! Thank you. I wish I could have watched this video in full length without the time lapse.
Thank you. I only speed up the repetition as it can just be too long a video
fantastic tutorial!! Thank you!!
I’m so glad you liked it. Thank you 😊
Any other fruit you’d like to paint? Drop in the comments
Helen, I LOVE painting and drawing FIGS! Not dried figs, fresh figs - I've seen all sorts of colours in Australian figs, even a HOT OPERA PINK in their stems sometimes would you believe?! They make for beautiful subject matter (and delicious snacks!) - though having never been to the UK before, I'm not sure about their availability in your local area? Keep up the great work, Helen! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Ooh I know. I love figs. And yes, the colours are gorgeous
I learn more from this tutorial, normaly that school
Thank you 😊
Hi,incredible artt !!can u do for a big tree with a beautiful view
Hi Helen, I think it would be nice if you could keep a showing of the finished painting on the screen as you work on the tutorial. Just a thought.
Thank you. I’m going to be putting the line drawing and reference photograph in future tutorials, scheduled for a couple of weeks. I’ll be posting them on the Facebook group, are you a member?
@@helencampbell Yes, I'm a member of the Facebook group.
Great. so from the first week in March I’ll post both the line drawings and reference photos so stay tuned
I always think it takes me an eternity to do these. I was wondering how much time did you take to arrived at the finish product ?
Oh gosh I’m not sure. I think this particular one took me about an hour or so maybe longer, but remember everybody works at their own pace and there’s never any rush
My favourit brand is designer Guoach
Ah lovely. I’m still getting used to gouache but want to do a few tutorials here in the future
Ma'am please can you share Instagram link.. For more study.
