No flower, nor landscape this week ! But a still life !
Above, you can have a look at my reference picture and a study i made with gouache. The subject is very simple : it is just an open fruit. The complexity here lays in the texture that will make this fruit believable on paper.
The colors i used in the gouache version were perfect for me so i used similar color in the watercolor version. I’ve had just one color : lavander. Thanks to the opacity and the very specific tone of this color, it add something really interesting to the painting !
