We miskited
the white holes in the strainer and counter area and anyplace that looked truly
white. I’m not a believer in leaving
some white in your watercolor painting; if I don’t really see white, then I
don’t leave it, simple as that.
We did miskit
on the tomato highlights, but not the grapes.
I tried to remember to take photos during the process, but did forget and skipped some stages.
Here are the photos I did get:
 |
| Miskit applied, grapes started. |
 |
| Grapes more complete, with pinks added, one/two layers of paint on tomatoes. |
 |
| More layers on tomatoes. |
 |
| Tomatoes complete, tomato reflections added, gray on counter top added. |
 |
| "Marbelized" countertop completed, darks begun on strainer. |
 |
| Shadows in lace, strainer complete, background complete, ready for deeper shadows. |
Here is the photo next to my completed painting:

Awesome...I love the reflections on the strainer and the light on the doily. Beautiful painting.
Thanks, Barb! My students thought they couldn't do it, but the all did a great job.
This painter is masterfully done. I love all the shadows and how the objects pop. The textures are also superb.
What a challenge, and how well you did. I'm inspired. I have some glorious photos of a bowl of white eggs, in a wedge of sunshine, I took this morning (no shiny things, I'm not THAT brave yet). I'll start with a careful careful drawing, and, then a little painting, and would like to attempt a full sheet, like the "grown-up" artists do. If I can get it to look like anything, I'll post it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Shelley.
Katherine - too funny! Shiny isn't difficult, and I'm sure you can do a "grown up" painting - LOL So get down into your new studio and give it a go!
