"Just Peachy" watercolor on paper 9".5 x 9".5 inches / 24 x 24cm. |
I find the DPW painting challenge a good place to turn to when you feel you are lacking a direction in what to paint. This week, the focus is on composition. There are a lot of excellent points on things to keep in mind which I tried to incorporate. You can check that out by clicking here. It's a delicious time of year as fas as fruit is concerned. I'm always attracted by the colors of fruit and it is difficult to try and present it in a unique way. I worked larger than life in order to play with the washes more. And the best part is eating my still life once it is all over!
I've included the full size images of the paintings from Master artists from last weeks hand "quiz". Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed I was wrong in all my guesses about the hands--even more so when I see the famous paintings they're from!
Thank you Laura, I appreciate your comments! It's only easy when you already know the answers!:)
