Create a Botanical Sampler:

    Create 4 thumbnail studies of your fruit or vegetable on one side of your watercolor paper
    On the other side create 6 or more interpretations of your fruit or vegetable, life size or bigger.
      emphasize:
      light and shadow
      proportion and point of view
      use a different technique for each interpretation of your subject

We should be able to identify the type of fruit or vegetable you are painting as well as the technique you have used to interpret it. Review the Lime video here for tips in painting limes in three dimensions.
