Not your everyday apple...



Crab Apple painting

Hope everyone's enjoying their Labor Day weekend!
I unfortunately have not been feeling well.  No worries, nothing like a little music and art therapy to keep my spirits up.
I've been playing with my gouache set again.  I haven't quite figured out the blending effects of this medium yet.  I like how the apple turned out.  I was hoping to achieve a more tonal effect with the crab but ended up with red matte.  No matter, we're going to keep trying.

Be good, be well
Peace and love,

Sweet Sunday Morsel

I've been watching too much NatGeo and Discovery Channel.  You combine that with a silly mood and this is the end result.
I'm continuing to work outside my comfort zone.  I bought a set of gouache (pronounced gwash).  They are a more vibrant, opaque form of watercolor.  I'm going to have to continue experimenting and see what happens.
