Still life with exotic jug (102)

Sticking with the still life theme, this one of an exotic jug with fruit is my first water colour painting. Again, I painted it at my friend Sue’s house. I didn’t realise that I needed to leave blank pieces of paper for highlights as there is no white water colour paint. Despite this, I think it turned out ok, though the fruit could do with a bit more body.

I find paintings of still life compositions more difficult to paint than subjects from photographs, but they provide good practise at really seeing objects and how they relate to each other ... so I need to do more of them.
