Thistles

In the spirit of loosening up, I decided to try a variety of thistles. Plus this was a great excuse to use my new pink Daniel Smith watercolor paints. I love the architectural feeling of thistles, though they're still on the wild side.

Daniel Smith Watercolor Demo

I recently attended a free Daniel Smith watercolor demo at University Art. I had never used their paints before, nor had I used any artist grade paints for that matter. They were amazing! They were have a big sale, so I bought a few. Can't wait to try them out!

Carrots

I love how these colorful carrots turned out. Just the right amount of loose sketch, but you can still tell what it is.

Apple Sketches

I have yet to master the apple, but I had fun with these ink pen and watercolor sketches.

Veggies

Here are a few quick sketches I did with an ink pen and watercolors.

Mixing Tray

Even if my paintings don't turn out beautifully, the mixing tray always does.
