Cherry Trio ACEO

2.5x3.5 watercolor on 140 lb hot press paper, drawn from life before I ate them recently.  This art card edition original still life is a fun, fresh way to look at summer fruit.  A complementary palette of red and green was used.

Actual size is below:

Cherry Carton

9x12 watercolor that is today's work, a blue carton of Royal Rainier cherries from my photo. I love the primary colors predominant here of red, yellow, and blue.  The photo did not have three cherries to the left side so I added those for balance and shadows to connect all shapes.  I participated in the current weekend drawing event on the All Media Art Events forum on WetCanvas online.  Those who choose to do the 2 hour timed activity must select 1 of 16 photos within 30 minutes.  This vignette took me 1.5 hours total.
