Paris Thumbnails

Redon inspired still life, 9" x 11"

 

There were a lot of requests to paint yesterday's Redon setup, so I did.

First to watercolor match the ribbon and boxes

Surprise! A 5-month old framboise macaron lurks within one of the boxes.

Used in another setup. No, I did not eat the macaron...yet.

Would you?

Were the rununculas chosen because of the Redon exhibit?

The pink box was sighted not so far from the Grand Palais expo...

I wanted to start off doing thumbnails like Dewey did in Maine

David paints his thumbnails on typing paper(!) so I tried it out

Then just plain old tracing paper

Then thumbnails on watercolor paper but these are not simple enough

But I forgot to look at the thumbnails I did that day until after the fact. A la prochaine/next time. If you're going to paint pink, pink, pink

You need to eat a lot of watermelon! What shall I paint next PBers?

BONJOUR Paris THUMBNAILS!
