Blue Bottle and Fruit Bowl
watercolor, 18x24

I think I will call this finished. I may crop it a little more horizontally. I like the idea of it being a tall painting. I always set a painting up for a few days just to

distance myself from the painting process. I can be more critical of the overall painting and my brush work if I do this. 

I really like the shiny look of the jug and on the pear. Those little white and light spots next to a middle or dark value are what gives the appearance of objects being shiny.

I am working on a series of Tuscany paintings for a commission in between the  projects for my classes. So it is time to work on another one or those paintings. I am on break from my classes I teach for a couple of weeks, so good timing.
