Strada Challenge: Bag of Apples

🍏 Turn the everyday into a study of light and form. In this .5+ hour gallery demo, Bryan Mark Taylor guides you as he composes and paints a humble plastic bag filled with apples—revealing how to make the ordinary feel profound.

You’ll learn how to:
🎨 Observe and render subtle color shifts across fruit and paper
🧴 Manage translucency and texture in contrasting materials
🖼️ Create a unified composition where no element feels tacked on
🌗 Refine value structure, edge control, and focal hierarchy

This workshop is ideal for still life painters who want to push their skills in harmony, observation, and design—especially when working with simple, everyday items. 🕒 Runtime: .5+ hours
