More fruit....

Painted for the watercolor class I took last fall.

Watercolor value study

This is a value study from the watercolor class I took at our local junior college. I need to do more of these in order to learn to see clearly the value differences in a composition. I get impatient doing the top portion, but when I finish I always like seeing the two versions next to each other. 

Pear and tangerines

The photo of this painting somehow doesn't get the colors right; I think they are deeper in real life. Originally, this painting just featured one green pear on the plate. The composition didn't work, so I repainted it, changing the color of the pear and adding the two tangerines.
