My husband loves artichokes, so in honor of his birthday 🎂 today I am sharing a watercolor artichoke
“You’ve got to teach me how to cook an artichoke,” he said
“Okay, I’ll send you the link to my recipe, and you can make one while I’m gone this week…”
I painted this using the “wet into wet” technique
Wet the area you want the paint to flow into
Drop in colors, letting them naturally blend together
The light source is from the right so the colors deepen towards the left or shadow side of the artichoke
I also built colors and depth with layers of color
Artichokes are full of different colors if you really study them
Looks good enough to eat!
You can find my recipe for Artichokes with Dreamy Lemon Sauce here
I am happy to report that HH cooked an artichoke all by himself with great success!
Now he can cook one for me 😊
Be Fearless!
