"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I painted this watercolor today so I could teach it Monday night at my intermediate watercolor class at Riverside Art Center in Wapakoneta, Ohio. It is transparent watercolor, 12" x 13", and is painted on BFK Rives printmaking paper. It is from a photograph by agnesdale from the image file at Wet Canvas. This, of course, will be a lesson in painting crystal.

Beautiful grapes and the crystal also. I think the glass would be a real challenge to your students! Mrs A
What a great lesson and beautiful painting these students will have! I love this composition, Barb, and you've painted this exquisitely!!
Every time I look at this I see something I missed before. Great detail without being fussy. Also love that granulated background.
Mrs A - the students handled the crystal very well - I will post their work in 2 weeks ... thanks for commenting.
Thanks, Sherry.
Thanks, Susan - I think the texture in the background was due to the paper (Rives printmaking paper) and to the granulating watercolor I used - (van dyke brown.)
