Good Morning, Glories

6x8 watercolor using White Nights paints on handmade rough 140 lb cold press paper, done last weekend for another WetCanvas drawing event. In this event, participants have 2 hours to draw and paint their choice from listed references. Morning glories are always so refreshing to see and paint. COPYRIGHT 2025 Kay Smith

Golden Melon

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper with DaVinci/Daniel Smith paints. A collection of fall gourds cluster together in old iron urn. I particularly like their twisted stems, leaves, and vines.  This is an earlier work from 2012 that remains one of my favorites.

Thru the Fence

5x9 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper with Daniel Smith paints, done yesterday afternoon.  There's something about old fences with vines and flowers poking thru that says country subject to me worth painting.

Vineyard - negative painting

15x11 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb hot press paper, no pencil used. Negative painting was done on top of dry underpainting of yellows and blues to establish groups of grapes and leaves. I used a palette knife to add twigs at the last.
