This week’s challenge took a last-minute turn. I was planning to do something very different (a watercolor study), but when my friend came to the cabin this past weekend with fresh cherries from a local farm near her, I had a feeling that the watercolor study was going to take a backseat this week.
I am pleased with the way this turned out. Slowly, I am becoming able to put on paper what I am seeing in my head as far as looseness! While from a distance this looks a bit ‘photo-like’, if you zoom in you can see a whole lot of loose brush work!! Loose brush work means freedom, and freedom equals fun! That’s two of my goals in this challenge!
I am usually so focused on my work that I don’t think to take too many photos along the way, but yesterday I made sure to photograph throughout to give you a peek into the process…

Cheers for the cheery cherries, mon cherie! (Say that 5 times fast!) You’re right. From a distance it does look like a smooth photograph, but up close you see more of the work that goes into each part of the creation. The same could be said of any of our lives. From a distance, some can look so easily put together, but as you get to know people, you can learn their story of development and appreciate what makes them uniquely them.
They look good enough to eat. : )
Love seeing the step by step process.
Keep having fun!
I love your “Fresh Cherries” water color. Your progression pictures fascinated me, too. You did a beautiful job!
