Get the most out of your meal


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!

  2. 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.

    1. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

African Violets

 African violets sketchbook page I painted this sketch slowly, over a few day's time.  I use my sketchbook to experiment towards improving my skills although I seem to always find myself in a hurry to finish the sketches. It took my African Violets over two years to bloom, I felt compelled to capture this achievement! The flu is making the rounds around my household once more, I hope everyone else is well!

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!

Flying Colors

"Flying Colors" 28.5 x 20cm / 11" x  8"in.  I love the color of this blue jay's feathers and its stance, so graceful ... the various blues were hard to imitate. I am working on leaving more white areas in my painting and loosening up a bit. Thank you to Mim White for allowing me to use her photo! When I saw her photograph, I immediately imagined it as a watercolor painting.
