Introduction
I enjoy painting apples just as much as I enjoy eating them. Of course, painting apples takes a lot more effort, especially when you don’t know where to start. When I faced this issue, I observed a few tutorials on how to paint apples, and eventually got better results with my paintings. If these tutorials worked for me, there’s no reason as to why they won’t work for you.
To paint apples, you first start with the lighter shades. In this case, it can be yellow or even light green, depending on the type of apple you’re painting. Next you blend the lighter shade with a darker variant or tone, and let the colors bleed into one another for a proper transition. You can even take this approach in the reverse order, that is work on the dark tone first, and then the lighter ones. Afterwards, you top things off by adding necessary details and lighting effects.
Easy Way to Paint Apples with Acrylics
For this painting, the artist takes the reverse coloring procedure that I’ve mentioned above. He starts off with a darker shade, and then makes his way up the drawing, transitioning to much lighter tones. The apple in this painting is mostly orange in color, with shades of red around it. It’s a detailed tutorial on a painting that’s quite impressive, despite not having much to offer in terms of details.
Realistic Apple Painting with Oils
Oil painting is probably the best way to make an artwork look vivid, and realistic. For instance, check out this oil painting of an apple. The color blends, transitions, and details all look magnificent. Credits to the artist for doing such an amazing job with this painting. Just goes to show that if you have patience and perseverance, you can hone your skills, and accomplish even the hardest of tasks.

Blood Red Apple Painting
This painting explores the process of creating an apple with a blood red color. You’ll also notice patches of crimson, and maybe pink as far as I can tell.

It’s actually an easy process, and doesn’t need much in terms of experience to recreate this artwork. Nevertheless, it’s a fine painting.

This is one of the best apple painting tutorials according to me. Not only does it show you the proper way to implement shades and lighting effects, but it shows you how to do so in three different color variants. You’ve got a red apple, a green apple, and a yellow one. Perfect tutorial to see how to approach each of these variants properly.
