      I also attempted the same Mind of Watercolour tutorial. My results were not as good as this though ha ha.

    Sandra, those are also ladybugs 🐞, in different stages of the life cycle.

    Ruth Bailey commented on the post, A Gigantic Ladybug 2 months, 1 week ago

    Well, Charlie, you pulled off the bug’s-eye perspective on this one! The only reason it looks like a giant is that you haven’t given us anything else for comparison. Although, to an aphid, this is a dreaded monster!

    Charlie, I like all the color you brought in to the water. Great job on the goldfish and the glass; as usual it is stunning.
    Happy Valentine’s Day. I stayed home, too, but then, I was teaching a student at my house.

    Ruth Bailey commented on the post, Fresh Eggs 2 months, 1 week ago

    Great job on these, Charlie. You observe and recreate the details of every subject. I can tell that you have a bank of lights in the room where you were painting, as each egg has several highlights. Your shadows on the carton give it dimension and texture.

    Do you eat them? I’m always looking for new ways to try them out.

      I will use them in anything that has onion in it, at the end as a garnish, and in simple food like tuna sandwiches and any kind of eggs.

    It is never a waste to use your paints and brushes. The most important person you paint for is yourself. I like these pinks and purples and that you left some white paper for contrast.

    Ah, Julia, the edges are perhaps the hardest part, yet so important. One has to leave that little white edge in just the right place to give the shells some thickness.

    Thanks, landon. With eggs, about all one has to paint are light and shadow with a little color. (And, yes, I exaggerated the color.)

    Thanks, Charlie. It’s even more of a challenge with white eggs, but I didn’t have any on hand.

    And as winter teases us with an occasional warm day like spring, it’s important to have bright things around!

    I bought three plants to sit on the kitchen windowsill. I wasn’t thinking of painting them when I bought them, but when Charlie suggested flowers, they were there.

    It really ended up being a texture picture, didn’t it?

    Thanks, Pamela. It’s nice to know that what I was trying to say came across. I wasn’t too sure on this one.
