The
Challenging Cup and Saucer

| My painting in water color |
The
April Paint and Draw Together Challenge is a lovely photo of a cup
and saucer, 2 cookies and a coffee pot. Just a simple set up, However
the lighting on the photo is such that the coffee pot is in semi
darkness and has lots of reflections. So pretty difficult to paint.
Add to that I am not really used to the intricacies of using water
color paints yet so I can truly say this was a CHALLENGE.

Still
you can see the results. Not too bad. I do think a study done in
acrylic paint would have allowed for a denser color in the background
but then the cup would not have turned out so well.
It
will be very interesting to see how the other artists paint the
study. You can see these at http://paintanddrawtogether.blogspot.com/. I hope to lean a lot by looking at their studies.
