Creating The Illusion Of Surface And Texture

In the first painting, the lines are very bold, and you can clearly see the outlines of every shape.  The warm colors of the fruit, make it look soft, while the very bold paint also makes it look smooth.  In the second painting, all of the outlines of everything look very soft.  This is because of the light edges, and how the edges of the objects blend into the background, or what is in the background of that object.  In the third painting, many of the things that the artist wanted to show, are highlighted, and have a very bright white, or color flashed onto them.  They stand out against the background, and they stand out because of the whitish, light color that is reflected.
