Spaghetti Sketch  watercolor on Garza Papel paper  20x14 cm.  180 grs The inspiration for this sketch came from last night's dinner. I thought it would be a fun way to practice my negative painting technique. This particular dish is with capers and anchovies...quick, easy and delicious... I worked from a photograph I took before eating my dinner, my memory isn't that good. I wish everyone a nice and creative week!

Day Eight of Thirty!

"Fusilli" 7x10cm watercolor on paper  I am over the threshold of the first week and find the challenge demanding. I'm trying to keep the paintings simple. I am impressed by what the other artist are producing on a daily basis (see for yourselves by clicking here ). I was off track for a couple days and am now trying to catch up. This is a personal challenge, no one is checking on me but I want to see if I can devote myself to painting on a more regular basis, hopefully this will be something I can carry forward once it is over (but not on the weekends!). Day eight I painted fusilli pasta. I might continue with this, I think it is fun. A solitary object on a page represents a challenge because the the focus is on the single item, nothing detracts from it. I like the bit of striped cloth as a backdrop because it echoes the swirls of the pasta. Well, I still need to catch up with day nine, whew!"                                        work in progress

Day Seven-Farfalla

"Farfalla"10.5x7.5 watercolor on paper  I'm behind on my project. I have been very busy these last couple of days and have not been able to find time to paint. Oh, well! I worked on a very small painting last night, butterfly shaped pasta, hoping that smaller will lead me to catching up faster. I'm happy with the result and plan to do another one tomorrow. I love food and I think it's important to paint what you love! See the other artists who are participating in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge by clicking here
