Thank you for visiting Bentleycapital.

For those interested in the details......
Sometimes a photograph will capture the interest of an artist as if it were holding a placard saying 'Paint Me'. It seems this photograph did just that.
The process went from the photograph to a sketch, then tracing the important shapes onto drawing paper and then onto a sheet of Water Colour paper all the while editing with painting it in mind......note the addition of the diagonal lines in order to bring interest to the negative shape left by the subject matter.
Kind Regards,
bleujay

Now that's a watercolor paint tray!! I love watercolours. It's such an expressive medium. And the only one I have ever dabbled in.
Love the highlights/gloss of the grapes!

Have you heard of the artist Shirley Trevena? Her work is mostly WC. Her book 'Taking Risks with Watercolour' is fascinating.

Marvelous artwork of "Pears and Grapes" from great artist @bleujay! I personally love water color painting, I think, it makes the drawing more vivid and refreshed. And @bleujay did it well!
Um! I can imagine when this photograph said "Paint Me"..... Good explanation! And it's great inspiration for me!
