| This is the photo I was taking when those seed pods caught my attention. |
 |
| Simple sketch for watercolor. |
 |
| Light glazes to start. For gourds, I use aureolin, new gamboge and quin. siena For fence, it's indanthrone blue, quin. violet and quin. burnt orange. |
 |
| I did a bit more shadowing before getting into the local color. |
 |
| Intensifying the gourd colors |
 |
| Starting the pattern on the large gourd. |
 |
| I've painted the stems with a light brown, and the dark is the phthalo green mix. I have pretty much completed the patterning, and my eyes are going cross-eyed, so I think I'll call it a night!! As always, all comments are most welcome! |
