I bought a bag of cranberries with the good intention of making some kind of holiday cranberry thing. Of course, that never happened so I painted them.

Scattered—140 lb rough watercolor paper

Cluster—on Yupo

Bowl—Moleksine watercolor sketchbook

Strung—140 lb cold pressed watercolor paper
You sure managed to do some lovely paintings from those unused cranberries. Have a good trip and post some more of your fabulous Bali paintings.
ReplyDeleteOh, love these, Jennifer! I've done exercises like these to test out different papers etc, and I love seeing the varieties of looks that emerge. Yours are jewels. I'm glad you didn't eat them, although I love cranberries!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely
ReplyDeleteAs A Brush With Color says...jewels..
ReplyDeleteI too love to see how different papers respond. I'm new at watercolor papers and I learn a lot by watching what people can do with them.

They certainly didn't go to waste--love the different versions of the subject.
ReplyDeleteI like the first painting best Jennifer - so light an fresh.
ReplyDeleteCranberries are great just reduced down a little with lots of sugar, then used as a topping for cereal etc. But beware the 'wind' factor LOL!
hmmm...love cranberries! Came across a wonderful looking recipe for lemon cranberry muffins today. Delightful color!
ReplyDeleteI love all the different ways you addressed the same subject. I think the yupo one is especially wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful - and you will be able to keep them. Much better than eating the berries!
ReplyDeleteI see I'm going to have to visit your site more often! You've sneaked in three postings since I was here last. I love the cranberry studies, especially the yupo one. Love the puppy sitting post, both paintings and narrative, too!
ReplyDeleteI really love your loose style. You make me wish I could paint! These sketches are just lovely.
ReplyDeletei LOVE these - much more satisfying (especially for us) than anything that could have been consumed. they're exquisite jewels and you've given them beautiful settings.
