Fruity Kitty

8x8 watercolor on Masters Touch premium paper, 140 lb cold press sketched yesterday and painted today for another online challenge. Participants on WetCanvas in the All Media Art Events forum for the weekly Drawing Event, have 2 hours to choose an image and paint it. This still life of a gray and white cat on a table took a little over the 2 hours and was so cute I could not resist. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

A bit more work on grapes

After getting this one home and realizing the large leaf should have more color, I added a warm glaze of quinacridone gold. Also I added quin magenta on left side in the background while lower left corner had more pigment, too, very wetly.

Finished! Two more hours and it is done...I used only a black and white copy of the reference photo so ALL color, including the underpainting, is imaginary. These look good enough to eat!
