Grapes


Grapes seem like such a nice subject to paint until you realize you have to paint every single grape. Argh!
I'm using cobalt blue, indigo & perylene violet.

I do like all the interesting shapes in the leaves. When I paint them, I just try to paint the shapes I see in my reference photo and don't try to think of the shapes as leaves. It all seems to work out in the end.

  2. Kathleen,
    This painting is beautiful! I love how the image is so light struck and the varying colors of the grapes! Fab!
