Strada Challenge: Oranges

🍊 Push colors to their sweetest limits. In this 1+ hour Strada Challenge, Bryan Mark Taylor walks you through painting oranges inside plastic bags—showing how to balance transparency, muting, and saturation so your fruit glows without looking flat.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Render transparency convincingly—make the plastic feel real
🎨 Mute surrounding tones without losing punch
📦 Isolate a single orange and let it sing within a saturated color scheme
⚖️ Find the balance between vivid and believable in still life


Ideal for intermediate to advanced painters who want to refine their handling of light, color, and material contrast. 🕒 Runtime: 1+ hour
