It was my first attempt at using my new favorite method of painting using dry pastels and hairstray! I have another painting like this but I will need to get to kinkos to scan it as its rather large. I really want to do more like this, it was fun from start to finish.
Its pretty neat actually! I got the idea from a great artist on DA

Basically I drew the apple in with pastels then sprayed it with a TON of hair spray until it dripped down the canvas. Then I used a paint brush smooth out everything. (As well as a little acrylic paint for the shine and stem.
