Apple and Pears, No Bears, O my

A 11"x7" watercolor on 300lb cp paper.  Reference photo is from Paint my photos.  I used transparent watercolor with watercolor crayons.  First time I used the crayons, they give interesting textures, but are opaque.  I find them useful for highlighting, if I accidentally paint over my highlights.

  2. Hello Karen:) What a beautiful painting. I love the bold colors. I've never used crayons myself, maybe it's time I do. The reflections are beautifully done! Great job.
