(21Here is the painting before the strawberryOne Last Strawberry,11cm). acrylic, 8^14 ⁄ 41 in 4 ⁄

was added

I drew in the strawberry in and began to underpaint it,initially with cadmium red and orange; I thought fourSTAGE ONE

coats would probably be enough. The brightness of theunderpainting provides a glow to the finishedstrawberry as it shines through the subsequent glazes

To give the strawberry someshape and begin to view it inSTAGE TWO

three dimensions I glazed itwith alizarin crimson andpyrrole red glaze

No two strawberries are the same sostudy the arrangement of the seeds; STAGE THREE

I painted them in with diarylide yellowmixed with white, going over them acouple of times to give strength to the

colour. To give them some shape, whichis time consuming, I used perylenegreen mixed with diarylide yellow

To create the depressions in the strawberry aroundthe seeds I used alizarin and pyrrole red for theSTAGE FOUR

shadows, with alizarin on its own for the darkestareas with perhaps just a touch of dioxazine purple– be careful when you do this, it’s a strong pigment

and you only need a little

Having found the shadows the next stepwas to find the light to create theSTAGE FIVE

impression of each depression. I bringback the cadmium orange with perhaps atouch of cadmium red and, where

necessary, Winsor & Newton mixing whiteto lighten it just a little. I never tire ofextolling the virtues of this marvellous

pigment, a super transparent white –make sure you have it in your acrylic box

Tim’s tips:Use a black box or curtain Have the background ready

Draw outlines precisely Be selective Use Small brushes

Use a mirror Have a damp tissue handy

Next I had to select those shiny areas thatthe light from my studio window was pickingSTAGE SIX

out – these are what make it a proper, juicystrawberry. A good strong white is neededhere, and I have found that Liquitex soft

body acrylic is the densest; I buy thisparticular white in tubs because I use somuch of it

Lastly I painted the stalk and leaves. Perylenegreen, chrome oxide green, transparentSTAGE SEVEN

yellow iron oxide were mixed with white anddiarylide yellow were used here; I picked outthe light that shines through some of the

leaves with a yellow glaze, and the tiny hairson the stalk with a whitish-green mix. It’slittle observations like this that complete the

illusion. Six hours of solid work on onestrawberry
