It was fun to participate in the DRAWING CHALLENGE #2 with my GOLDEN ROSE, so I decided to make another painting for the new part of this contest. Current theme of the DRAWING CHALLENGE #3 is a fruit.

What I like about my last entry is the black backround I chose so this time I wanted to move a little further forward in it and make much better composition using the black backround.
The actual summertime fruits are the berries. I love blueberries and strawberries the most, but when I watched other entries, there were a lots of drawings of strawberries so I decided to draw just blueberry, raspberry and a couple of red currants.
---Like always I painted in Photoshop.---
Initially I thought I'd paint these berries onto a wooden spoon, but later I found out how bad I am in painting a wooden texture, so I gave up on it.
The next step was to make colored backround for every berry, because then it's easier to paint details.
I always promise myself I'd make this step into more layers, but I forget every time, because I'm alway too immersed in this detailed painting.
Although I realized it too late, I saved one detail into another step and that's the stalk of red currants. Sorry about it, I'll try harder to make more layers next time.
The black backround is perfect for berries, because red color will stand out more this way.
I just copied my painting and flipped it.
I made the mirror effect, the bottom part of blueberry and the inner part between red currants smoother.
Thank you and see you in my next post!
