Two tangerines

This time I painted the background to give the fruit more context. I did the left-hand side one first and it’s the crudest – it’s the most overworked and I forgot to leave white space for the highlight. The one on the right is better but I haven’t got the colour of the shadows right. It’s just pure vermillion. Also, I don’t think it’s as well sculpted. I want to have another go to see if I can do better.
