This weeks Illustration Friday topic is "kernel." This topic was super hard for me. Apparently a peach pit has a kernel inside it, so that's what I went with.
This was one of those paintings where nothing seemed to go how I wanted it to from the sketch to the final. But I'm happy that I was able to paint a little bit looser, so I'm sharing it even though I'm not super pleased with it.
Anyone else have trouble with kernel? Here's hoping next week's topic inspires me more :0)
really lovely ....
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeletePretty and happy to see your return to watercolor this week. I can't wait until the real summer fruits show up at my local produce shop...so far I have bought a few cherries but this makes me crave a peach!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, yeah I definitely want a peach right now too!
DeleteLovely ! Like your loose watercolor style!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm definitely going to keep working on it :0)
DeleteYa sometimes the specific topics like "kernel" are a lot harder than more open topics like "sight" ... but I don't think it's a bad thing to focus ourselves to work on stuff that isn't inspiring or comfortable every time.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the end I wouldn't have noticed your struggles when looking at the painting. I think this is a lovely watercolor.
Yeah you're right a challenge is good every now and again. And thank you!
DeleteI agree with Nick, the watercolour is lovely, the struggle is in your head but fine on paper. love that you just went ahead and did a literal 'kernel' - I got so stuck I didn't do anything, which doesn't help much!
