Challenge painting - Ah Coffee!
 |
| My painting. |
This was again not a very interesting subject for me to paint. It was certainly challenging but I really couldn't get too inspired by it.
It is in water color and I find it difficult to get depth of color using this medium which I think is because I am so used to painting in oil and more often, in acrylic where rich colors are easier to obtain. The pattern on the top of the coffee was the most interesting to do.
Still it is by attempting we learn so I'll keep at it!!

| The original photo |
This is the challenge I do every six weeks or so in which a photo is given and then each artist produces their version inspired by the photo.
I found the topic a little bit dull to paint except for the reflection in the jug. This painting was fine in watercolor but getting the depth of the red for the tomato was a challenge. I think also now looking at it I should have made a better shadow under the tomatoes as they appear to be floating!!
Here is the original photo.
