Watercolor Wedding Invitations
Before the storm blew through, Carl and I went for a walk around the neighborhood to gather some beautiful Autumn leaves. They were a lot of fun to paint while cooped up indoors the last few days. I must admit…I’m a little sad that the storm brought down a lot of these beautiful leaves. Fall is such a whirlwind, isn’t it?

Two weekends ago at the farmer’s market I picked up some beautiful seckel pears with the intention of setting up a still life. This past weekend I started that still life. Here is a sneak peak of the painting. I have masked out the candle and the leaf branch during this stage of the painting. I love doing still lifes! It brings back my days of taking art classes. There is something so relaxing and meditative about drawing and painting a still life.

I’ve been playing around with the textures in watercolor lately. Mixing techniques of washes with loose brushstrokes, and watching what naturally happens as the paint interacts on the paper. I’ve also been playing around with the beauty of mixing in complementary colors into scenes as accents, as seen above when I add red to the green.
