Spaghetti Sketch
 watercolor on Garza Papel paper 
20x14 cm.  180 grs

The inspiration for this sketch came from last night's dinner. I thought it would be a fun way to practice my negative painting technique. This particular dish is with capers and anchovies...quick, easy and delicious... I worked from a photograph I took before eating my dinner, my memory isn't that good.

I wish everyone a nice and creative week!

    LOL And I always try to sketch my food before it gets cold. I don't think to take a photo. Looks nice and sounds like it is yummy.

      I don't know how you do it Joan! I don't have the dedication you do, especially with a plate of food in front of me.

    You know what... that would look awesome in my kitchen! I'm repainting the walls this week, actually, to that same blue/green in your background... The colors and design are so beautiful, Celia.

    Wow! Celia! This has to be one of my favorites of my Celia Watercolors! Great idea first of all! I so love the colors! The shapes! The movement! How fortunate we are that you thought of painting your dinner! Love thinking and acting so wonderfully "outside the box!" Now I am off to paint an Italian cold cut sandwich that I planned on painting years ago! I will post photo first! By the way...Mmmmmm!

    Oh this looks scrummy and fun. A nightmare I would imagine though, with all the spaghetti strands. Great job done. Love the energy and colours.

Happy 2015!!

 Clementine watercolor on paper  20x14 cm.   I am very excited to start off the new year because of the opportunity to focus on what lies ahead. My  goals for the coming months include many positive wishes!  I have written out a physical list for the first time in my sketchbook  to be able to draw a balance at the end. My first painting of the year is a clementine. The contrasting colors and the long shapes of the leaves  are always fun to paint; the fruit's taste is definitively delicious and brightens the dreary winter. I wish all of you a joyful, creative year! Happy 2015!

Parsley

Parsley watercolor on Garza Papel paper 20x14 cm. 300 grs Parsley is my favorite herb, I always keep a pot close to my kitchen. It is an interesting subject to improve leaf painting skills. I did minimal prelimanary drawing to keep the painting spontaneous. I focused on layering the shapes and observing the fresh colors in front of me.  I found parsley leaves fun to paint and instrumental in gaining more awareness and control when painting leaves! working from life is always my favorite! finding the right mix of color I can't believe this is my 100th post. Thanks for stopping by!

Pansies

 Pansies with Lemon  watercolor on cold pressed Daler Rowney paper  10" x 10" / 25 x 25 cm.  Available I wished to paint the happy faces of the pansies I planted earlier in the fall. They are hardy plants, lasting through the winter on my balcony. Soon I will have to pull them out and replace them with petunias or begonias, but not for another month. I love the different shades of purple and had fun mixing my own. I hope everyone is having a nice week!
