I had fun painting this picture of a closeup of some peas in their pods. The texture was achieved by sprinkling salt into the paint when it was very wet.

Very well done this watercolor! It reminds me of a story from when I was a child and that I really liked "The story of a pea!" L,F

First of all, these watercolors of yours are fantastic! To tell the truth, I've never one to paint things like peas in a pod, but when I look at this painting, I am astounded by the rich color, the spectrum of black to white, and the lines. Wow! Who knew a little salt could go so far? These greens include blues, and purples, and pinks...Wonderful!

I really appreciate your insightful comment, Richard, thank you ! I'm glad you found the purple I snuck into the greens :)
