Acorn Squash

Conflicted on this one. I got impatient. I didn't use enough water. I didn't work on individual sections like I planned. I didn't approach this like a watercolorist.

The color is pretty close to my reference though. Dry brush really looks pretty bad on the main part of the squash, but I like it on the stem.

This is how it goes though. I stepped away for a week and a half. I should warm up a bit before I start tomorrow's painting.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!
