Sitting Pretty Purple, 2.5″x3.5″, Watercolor on Canson 90# Another mini-painting on the Sitting Pretty theme. Limited pallette, using quinacrodone rose, ultramarine blue, and viridian. Quin rose and ultramarine mix a beautiful purple that granulates. The eyes are hansa yellow. The gray is mixed from ultramarine and burnt umber.
Three Pears, 6″x9″, watercolor on Arches 140# I painted these three pears while I was working on my color studies last week. I’m fairly happy with the pears and the shape of the shadows. I’m not happy with the way the darker pigment deposited itself within the shadow. I would have liked for it to be smoother.
Pear 12/27/20062.5″ x 3.5″ (ACEO), watercolor on 90# Canson. For Christmas, my sister sent me a box of pears from Harry & David. They were so beautiful, I needed to paint one.
