Deep shadow
“orange against green.”
“A mandarin in full bloom — luminous colour painted in Procreate.”
Mandarin Bloom is a square studio piece painted at 50 × 50 cm in Procreate. I built the petals and rind in layers, pushing warm orange against cool shadow until the fruit felt lit from within. Available as prints and digital downloads.
