The yellow pear

Going in a different direction subject-wise, I'm gonna spend some time playing around with contrasting textures. This is the first in this theme, porcelain and fruit. A new challenge for me is painting white without white, really makes me think before grabbing a stick. This is getting close to done, still got a bit of work on foreground and background, and probably the pear as well.
Decided to put down color all over the surface to get an idea on how the different elements play together before I do the finishing touches.
