Adding highlights and shadows to an entity assist give a feeling of three-dimensions to it. The first craze you need to do is to choose which direction the light is spotless from. This needs to be the similar on every item in the painting. Highlights are extra on the side the light is approaching from and shadows on the conflicting.

In the instance of a green apple below, the glow is coming from the right-hand side. So the highlight will be on the peak, right of the apple, and the outline at the bottom, left.

Highlights happen where bright light hits an object and are regularly quite small. Don't use pure white to generate a highlight, but fairly a very pale shade of the color of the thing. Pure white will usually appear too harsh or simulated. So in the case of this orange, use a very pale shade of orange.
