Another gouache sketch. This wasn't a problem with the lemons but looking back I think I tend to go too dark with the darks. Probably this is because I come from a watercolor background and the pigments usually dry much lighter than the color you first put down wet. This concept becomes a habit so I need to really work at going lighter in gouache as well as acrylics. My next goal is to figure out a way to show the texture of the lemon skin. I painted these just as smooth as the peppers, which they aren't.
