I am working on this still life painting. I like the colors especially the yellows, reds and yellow ochre in the cantaloupe. When painting grapes, I paint the shape using a purple and french ultramarine blue, then I splash magenta over part of the grape and that gives it the transparent look. A trick I learned from a book by one of the great artists, (I will have to mention his name in a later blog as it is late and I cannot recall his name) is to put a sliver of white over the grape.
