Original Creation

Monochrome Apple

Niketh 25 Sep 2025

An attempt at still life painting in monochrome to understand the concept of values. I need to work on getting softer edges between values and the shadow looks a bit - detached. Would appreciate feedback!

It you want softer edges you can work on them, but you certainly don't need them. Looks great and very painterly as it is.

The shadow can easily be fixed by adjusting the form. Maybe do a simple sphere first to see how the shadow should behave

Good highlights on the apple.

Thank you! Appreciate the comments :) and thanks for the sphere idea too…will attempt!

Great job--really impressive.

Looks real!

Thank you so much😊
