| Beer and Peanuts watercolor 13.5 x 8 |
is the result of a paint-a-bottle challenge..so many ellipses, and each one tilted toward the horizon line! Not to mention the challenge of a label which also involves ellipses and the additional task of rendering typography in a convincing yet not-too-detailed way. For me, the peanuts were rendered quickly and left untouched...those passages are usually the most convincing. The background was the toughest. The first pass was a cool blue-green hue which, along the way, seemed unsatisfactory to me. The graded orange wash was subsequently layered over it. I am satisfied.
