After painting a green apple, now I'll show you how to paint a red apple. Simple yet beautiful apple, these kinda painting would be a good exercise for those who are trying to learn watercolor painting.

First make a simple sketch of apple.

Next add masking fluid in some parts that you want to protect. In watercolor painting, it's better never used white color, instead we simply leave those part uncolored, here I used masking fluid to protect it. I just bought a masking fluid, this is my 1st time using it, so I'm not sure if I use it right.

Start the coloring process, I used wet on dry technique for this step. I used vermilion as the base color.

Adding some lemon yellow on the upper part.
