sunlit

i dove into this without much forethought, although i did skim through my albums to find inspiration and copy my own work. i am sooooo out of practice but i'm quite happy with this. this is from one of my half-half photos in 2017.

it is july and it is world watercolor month. our talented photographers who also dabble in painting, will TRY to paint in watercolour each day using the prompts here https://365project.org/artsygang/tutorials/2023-06-22
if you want to try, please join us. this is not a competition. in my case, i just don't want my watercolours to go stiff and stale so i might as well use them.

note: i used the watercolours in tubes to get a more 3D effect on the rim lighting.

Oh, so nice Vikki! The shadow is terrific and I love the white highlights, so well interpreted.

@theredcamera - thanks, ellen. it cost me a backache 😂 i should find a more conducive corner to paint. this thing has to be a relaxing past time.

Most impressive effect! Beautiful highlights and the shadows are perfect I will probably not attempt much of these this month due to lack of talent and time! To borrow a phrase ACES!

@grammyn I'm off away for a week, but taking my watercolour pencils to land of dragons with me and will try to make time to do teeny tiny images to support Vikki

@summerfield Ooohhh... really incredibly well done for how out of practice you claim to be...
I completely forgot about this. But I also forgot my appointment to the hairdresser... must be something in the air.
Your take on the theme is exquisite. So delicate. And you know very well how I treasure shadows. Your painting is spot on! Really love the depth created by that shadow.

Cool! Painters are my heroes. I don't know how you do it.
