Fruit Plate

22x15 watercolor on hot press 140 lb paper that I first coated with white gouache, then painted. This gives a nice softness to the colors in the fruit still life of pears, strawberries and blueberry muffins on antique china plates. Before the pear paint dried, I color-sanded colored pencil into it using fine grit sandpaper. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith

I haven’t commented for a week. Yikes! Starting with the fun strawberry. I love the New Mexico Structure, of course. Fun owl. The cattails, chickadee and tulip are such lovely watercolors. The fruit plate with the pear is exciting. Nice work all around. :-)

Wonderful Kay with a great mix of media as well. Such a lovely color you captured in the pear and the dish. Hope you have a wonderful day.
