Boxing Day Still Life

 No better way to spend a day than painting with friends.

 Here's some details. I had troubles with the apple, which I lifted and repainted 3 times. I think it looks ok now though.

Well, we were getting hungry, so I short-handed the flowers. I'm ok with abstract elements in a representational painting though. I enjoy spattering the paint around and letting it do it's thing.

Okie, that's all for now. Hope you all are enjoying your holidays!

This Week's Still Life - Rose and Cup

I know... it's a cup and a rose on a chair. What the heck is the meaning of all this?! I just like the palette of greens and pinks :)

Until next time :)

Mother-in-Law's Roses

With watercolors, I tend to try and receed everything into a light background because the white of the paper is really hard to overpower. In my way of watercoloring, I try to do everything in one or two washes only because most of my paintings are done alla prima, on the spot. I don't have time to wait for things to dry, add another layer, wait for it to dry again, etc. Well, this painting is an exception. I had to make the background dark in order for the white flowers to pop. I hope it worked!
