Sorry I haven't updated this as much as I should but I will try harder.
This is the latest watercolor that I have done. In our Painting Friends Forum we are learning the method of pouring. I did do pouring a while ago but only with landscapes. So this is my first using a photo of pears. I really enjoyed doing this painting. I started with 3 colors, Cobalt Bl, Windsor Yellow and Grum. Red. I masked the pears, then wet the paper and poured blue, then red. Let it dry completely removed masking fluid from the pears, then I used a straw to blow the masking fluid over the painting. When that was dry I wet the paper again and poured red first, then yellow on to the pairs. I followed by pouring more red,yellow and some blue. After it dried I used various other colors in the stem and shadows. When I look at the painting I feel like dancing. And the song "All Night Long "comes to mind. I really like this painting. So I think if when you look at this and hum this song, you will enjoy it too. Thanks for looking and please do comment.
this is really very artistic ... the splashes of masking were used very well to show off the shapes of the pears ... great palette and hues as usual
