Couronne / Winter Wreath

Voici toutes les plantes des jours précédents dessinées ensembles.

The previous drawings all assembled into a wreath.

Still Safe from the Snow

Érable/Maple

    

Tilleul/Linden

Lors de mes promenades de la semaine dernière, j'ai trouvé plusieurs fruits qui restait de l'étè toujours attachés aux arbres et arbustes. Je les ai peints pour terminer 4 petites aquarelles. J'ai eu l'idée de créer un dessin d'une couronne qui sera terminée bientôt!

Cerise/Cherry

During my walks last week, I came across seeds and fruit which were still clinging to trees and bushes. After making several small watercolours, I decided to combine them to paint a winter wreath. It will be posted soon!

Yellow Reflection

I spent a long time working on this small painting. I wanted the yellow reflection of the pear in the reddish mug to show up well. Again, looking for the small details is one of the joys and challenges of still life painting!

Green Spot

Looking for and capturing reflected light on objects is an intriguing part of painting transparent  objects in still life painting. For example the colours mix as the light passes through the green bottle onto the yellow pear to create a new lovely green. Taking the time to see and record this kind of thing is what keeps me coming back to paint every day. 

Cold Remedy #2

This is the same setup as the one I used for yesterday's composition

 painted from further back. 

Cold Remedy

The theme for the Daily Paintworks challenge this week was "Hibernation".

Since we can't really hibernate and have to deal with winter in all its glory which includes

colds, I decided to paint the ingredients for a cold remedy. Lemon, tea and a secret ingredient!
