FlaskBerry


Acrylic on Cardstock - 4 x 6 inches -   SOLD

For the latest Daily Paintworks Challenge, Carol Marine has suggested trying a piece where you mix the color you want, place it in one brush stroke and then move on. Deceptively difficult, especially for us beginners.
The flask was easy enough for me, but that blasted strawberry! So many little surface details getting in the way of seeing the overall planes and shapes. Squinting helped, but I feel I dulled down the glowing bright colors of the fruit. I'll be trying this again tomorrow.
