Apricot Harvest Colouring

Round apricots have a gentle seam along their skins. One open half shows a single stone, while rounded leaves and blossoms decorate the branch. Choose warm orange and golden yellow for the apricots, with a soft red blush on one side. Make the stone brown, the leaves green and the flowers white or very pale pink. Use gentle overlapping strokes for the fruit, then a darker orange near the seam. Colour the broad leaves before the smaller petals, and compare the round fruit with the pointed leaf tips. Use gentle pressure first, then add stronger colour only where you want it. Your own imaginative colour choices are welcome too!
