This is the sixth painting in the Lab Book Series, entitled Apple Eye, Violet Sky; Lab Book #10. The naming very confusing of course, as there is no actual Lab Book 1-3. I am planning on doing Lab Books 1-3 in the future, when the special-effects technology gets better (sorry, bad 'Star-Wars' inside joke-they made the last three first, and the first three last).
In Lab Book #10, an apple was created out of many doodles that were grouped together. After grouping the doodles for the apple, they were glazed with a purple-blue colour, followed by a layer of warm red tones. In one section of the apple there was no blue-underpainting, so the red really stands out. Also, the label on the apple was left as white space until it was finally painted. Finally, I applied darker reds and blues for the shadows in the apple, which bring out the individual doodles.
