Red Pear Redux

In a first attempt to paint red pears for my video (see video here),   I painted these pears.  I wasn't really happy with them so i started over and did what you see in the video.  I thought, however that I should at least post these that I did in preparation.

I like certain things about this painting, but there are a few I wish I did differently.  I should have put both stems from the pears in the rear pointing up.  I wanted to cross the one from the back with the one in the front, but in hindsight, I think it causes a little confusion for your eye.  Additionally, I think I should have put the red of the background color in the foreground and moved the green tinting to the back.  Doing this would have made the picture look a lot deeper.

Well, live and learn.  I was trying to do this all in 15 minutes and guess I was feeling a bit rushed.  Its still not a bad painting.  I like it.  Hope you do to...

Coneflower

I painted a few flowers on my lunch hour today.  They are just quick coneflower, not the most detailed, but for me, thats ok.  I want to give the essence of the flower, not an exact copy of it.  I think they look great and were a lot of fun to paint.  (yes, I realize I forgot the splatter on the first one.)

Hope you enjoy.  (oh, and you might see a video of a coneflower soon.)

10 Minute Rose

This is a rose I painted in 10 minutes at lunch.  I used to do a lot of painting on my lunch hour, but since I changed offices, and got a bit busier, I don't seem to have quite as much time to do it.  I had a few extra minutes today, and so, here is one.  No, its not perfect, but its not too bacd.  I need to blent my colors in a little better, but what are you gonna do, I only had 10 minutes.  Well, anyway, hope you enjoy.

Chickens

Chicken-a-go-go.  I don't know why I like painting chickens, but I do.  They are so fun, and easy.  All you have to do is let the paint do its thing.   I could have painted these all night.  Just draw one after the other, and paint paint paint.  

If you haven't seen it, I've put a short video that will show you how I've done it.  

Here it is

Thanks for the view.  I hope you enjoyed it.

Delicious Green Pepper Watercolor Video

Here is the video to go with the pepper.  This is how I paint a green pepper.



Enjoy.

Fresh Green Peppers

Garden fresh, totally delicious green peppers.    Mmmmmm I love summer.  All the fresh local fruits and vegetables.  I offer to you, two versions of a pepper I painted.  They look so gook, I think I could just eat them off the page.

I painted one of these with my daughter, and one for a video.  You decide which is which, or just watch the video.

Thanks for the view.  I hope you enjoyed the picture.
