Media: Watercolor
Size: 5x7 in
I was walking home from the local farmers market when I took the reference photo for this painting. It was hot and I was carrying a backpack filled with sweet corn, tomatoes, and blueberries. What I wouldn't do now for fresh tomatoes and sweet corn, I have to wait another 5-6 months!
This painting was done entirely with gouache which is opaque watercolor. I normally use it small amounts to add highlights to a watercolor. It's water based and opaque like acrylic but it's easier to achieve gradients and subtle blending effects with it. Maybe I should do more of these. What do you think?
