Candle Light
12 x 9
watercolor on illustration board
For Still Life 2.
There is a ton more I could do to this. Some paintings flow and some fight- this one fought.
1st I couldnt find a good surface. After I put a wash on the first surface on a bunch of unavoidable dark areas appeared. Then I tried a watercolor canvas that worked too much like gesso so I scrapped that one. I ended up having to cut and prepare another surface. It is supposed to cure for 24 hours and it only had ~5. Hopefully it wont effect the final look.
I didnt get the colors as dark as I wanted. I will probably work back into this at some point.
