Pomegranate in Primaries

I've been known to buy fruits and vegetables just to paint them - pomegranates are among my favorite fruits, so I also planned on eating this one. After being away from painting for so long, I was scared to even sit down for this one. I'm glad I did, though, because this painting re-affirmed what I already knew: watercolor painting is not just a fun thing I do, but an important part of who I am.

I have a brand-new tube of ultramarine blue I can't wait to try out. Maybe it will end up in my next 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!

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
