This was the first still life I did in my watercolor class.
Done in Windsor & Newton professional grade watercolors on Arches 140lb cold press watercolor paper. Probably took around 10-15 hours. Wet on dry technique employed, with glorious loads of glazing.
This is my first serious watercolor piece I have ever done. My teacher, Mr. Herzberg (definitely one of the best teachers I have had in my entire life) suggested that I get away from the local colors, so I did a lot of experimentation with it. The green vase-like thing has a lot of blues, yellows and reds. I am so happy with how it came out.
I honestly think this is a fluke for me, I am so happy with how it came out! The only thing I am displeased about is the orange pot on the right.
I'm watermarking this because my signature isn't in it. It's on the bottom, under the piece itself, so I cropped it off.

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I am always amazed at watercolors. Have only done 1 that I cared for and gave it to my sister. I really like yours.

wow this is stunning! ... Is there anything you can't do?! :XD:

I personally think the pot is fine, though the colors contrast just a wee bit too much with the other pieces.

Haha, I must say I am not so good with acrylic paint. Even though I found out I suck because the paints I bought suck D:
Perhaps if itwere with other pieces of the same style it wouldn't look as bad. Idunno.
