Putting in the background
The cherries are starting to look less appetizing in real life, but I’ve pretty much got them down.
Now for the background – the fun part! I started out putting in the line of the table but didn’t like it, so opted for a real dark ground, very wet juicy. I used Payne’s gray, Prussian blue, a little pthalo blue, and lemon and Indian yellows, dropped wet into wet.
There’s nothing like watercolor to come up with effects you’d never dream of yourself!
This is gorgeous. At this point I like it just as it is…..what i can see of it. I like it fading out into the white in the foreground.
Yeah, think I’ll keep it that way, except for adding a little paint under the doily.

This is beautiful. Great colors and flow.
Thanks – I’m having fun with it!

Simply breathtaking. Watercolors are very difficult for me! I am in awe.

They were difficult for me too until I realized that using watercolors isn’t painting. It’s directing the flow of water.
