Watercolors by Celia Blanco

"Different but the Same" watercolor on paper 7 x 6 in./ 18 x 15 cm. These two pieces of fruit are different but the same, pretty obvious. What I also mean is I tried to work the two fruits at the same time, not just individually. I was thinking back to my art school days and remembering a lesson about not just focusing on one piece of the painting at a time but to work on it as a whole. As I used one color on one piece of fruit, I would also work on the other, trying to unify the painting.  So nine more to go...

DAY11-sketch of a jade plant "Golden Delicious"watercolor on paper 10x15cm I couldn't find any time on Saturday to paint. Sunday I drew a sketch of one of my many jade plants to make up for it and I painted an apple later in the evening. What I'm appreciating about this challenge is the sense of guilt that inevitably arises if you miss a day. I also find that because we only have so much time to do the project, we don't fuss over it and overwork it like we might when working on longer projects. Well, I won't bore you anymore. I got past my second weekend and I'm almost halfway through this challenge .   See the other artists who are participating in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge by clicking here
