Here is a really fun painting I've finished as a challenge to a wonderful forum (which I love)...painting friends...where we have one of our artists post a photo every first of the month...we paint it just however we want...and we post on the 20th of the month. It is just the most fun to paint with red...(have I ever mentioned that it's my fav color in watercolor?). Our son's first truck (and boys in Texas have trucks) was a 1951 CandyApple red Ford pickup...this reminded me of him. Couldn't decide what I wanted to do with the background, so I just left it for now.

all the time i was painting this red truck, i was thinking.... mollie is loving this red for sure.. i think the background is wonderful and sets this truck up as the star of the show!!! nice painting, friend!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mollie, that red is fabulous! It reminds me of all your luscious strawberries:-) I agree with Cindi that the background is perfect to showcase the truck.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Thanks Cindi...your reds were wonderful too...wasn't this fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Christine...you really should give some of our challenges a try...it's lots of fun to compare how different everybody's paintings look even tho we're painting the same thing.
This is how a red truck should be painted - fabulous! I also love that background and wouldn't do a thing to it! xx
ReplyDeleteI think this is just perfect! Fab shiny red truck, and I love the setting, especially the foreground grasses with that touch of red.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat and Sharon...these challenges are always such fun...and really educational in that we paint stuff we might not ever paint. Red is such fun to mess with...
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a great truck Mollie, and I love the way you've loosely done the foreground.
ReplyDeleteYour truck is wonderful Mollie, so many beautiful tones, and so shiny! I think your background is just perfect as it is ... a lovely painting! :)
