Peach Tree beside a Water Butt

Peaches hang among green leaves beside a ribbed water butt, with rough bark and garden soil below. Fruit blush, leaf veins and metal highlights create small clues around the tree.

Start with peach stems and leaf clusters, then build the butt from its vertical ribs. Soil pieces sort by pebbles and shadow; leave bright background gaps until the main shapes meet. Peach stems and barrel ribs create two different line systems that help organize the green foliage. Bark seams and fruit stems break the broad green areas into smaller groups.
