I decided to try another one. Not sure why I chose a pepper, except that red is my favorite color. I found it harder to shade on a dark veg.
Probably can't use this on a card, as I am not the kind of person to send a "I think you're hot." card, but maybe an "I think you're sweet." card, as red peppers are more sweet than hot. Will probably put it in my sketchbook with my "Jupiter" orange.

Happy to see you try another painting with this week's challenge. You captured depth with the red. I have two colors that scare me anytime I use them, red and black. Red is hard to control, and basic black looks flat and harsh. You not only added depth with the contrast your highlights are terrific too. Fav'd TFS

I like this! I love a good red pepper. There are so many fun sayings you could put in this Pat - about red or peppers. I vote you make a card. Super depth on this too. Hugz

Pat this is a superbe red pepper, looks so real and has that glossy look, I read your post in the challenge thread and saw you've got new paint to have this great texture, I think it depends also on the paper we use.

Wow! Your red pepper is so realistic and has great depth and awesome highlights. I think it could make a great card.....something with a fun sentiment would be great.
