DARKS

It's difficult to paint a dark painting in watercolor and I found it especially difficult to do when I was first experimenting with watercolors.  I don't do many paintings with darks in them anymore because I enjoy color so much, but the two paintings below were done many years ago as part of my learning experience with dark colors.





"Dark Still Life With Pears"   24" X 18"   Watercolor






"The Kitchen Table"   15" X 20"   Watercolor

  1. I really love the Dark Still Life with Pears. It reminds me of the Dutch painters. After I got to your site, Judi, I realized I had been here before and had commented on your "dot" works and colors.
