Ok, night scenes in watercolor were always a scary thing for me, but I’ve been told we should confront our fears, so here we are. I think I may have learned a little bit with this.

My First Still Life
My first still life ever. I put a lot of planning on this, and everything has a meaning. Although I am seriously biased, I am happy with the result.
A minha primeira “natureza morta”. Houve muito planeamento neste trabalho, tudo tem um significado. Ainda que a minha opinião seja suspeita e tendenciosa, eu fiquei contente com o resultado.

A jar of cilantro
Watercolor 6x8" (15x20cm) on Arches paper, rough
I have to prepare to do my first still life painting ever. This is not my thing and it’s going to be unchartered territory, but I know it is going to include a jar of cilantro, so this is my first study. It’s a start.
