When we take the dogs for a walk with the family on the local Oakwood Trail my grand daughter likes to pick the wild blackberries. She takes along a container to collect them in but by the end of the walk most of them end up being eaten rather than collected. The prickly branches of the blackberry bushes grow every which way and I tried to convey that somewhat in this watercolor. Size is 11.5" X 7.5". I used Winsor and Newton's indian yellow and alizarin crimson and Daniel Smith's moon glow and quinacridone burnt orange.
They are shining like little jewels! Love the branch work and the background washes, very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Are these you Daniel Smith colors too? They're very vibrant: you chose well! The blackberries are especially lovely.
ReplyDeleteI used to pick them as a kid to bring home to my dad: I remember getting caught by the stickers!
They look so juicy! The colour in the background washes is glowing ... really lovely.
