I decided a few weeks ago to start blogging my art. I wanted to begin doing a painting a day to chronicle my growth and keep notes about what i was doing and thinking when i painted some paintings. I bought a magazine by American Artist last week called "Watercolor Highlights". It has 20 tips on how to do watercolor sketches, and I decided to start doing them, even if i don't make a finished paintinig from them immediately. The pear study was the first attempt of doing a watercolor sketch without a lot of drawing. The leaves could be better, but the colors turned out pretty nice. i was looking at some red bartlett pears when i painted this.
