Red Onions
5x7 watercolor on acid free paper Not for sale
I am going to be having Watercolor Weekends for a while.
I will be making my hubby happy as I can sit and paint
next to him while he watches the golf.
Artist Note.
Still not comfortable with fracturing in watercolor.
Trying a different paper tomorrow.- with sunflowers.
in these truly gorgeous, deep red onions. The outer skin has
almost an iridescent glow to them. Ann also brought in a yellow
cauliflower - see below.
It is truly an amazing deep, rich yellow. I tried to paint it but
it never looked like a cauliflower.
More like a yellow broccoli!
I love your style in watercolour and these red onions are very beautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice new week !!!
Your watercolors are a delight! I love the colors and the technique you use. To me it looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, I really like your blog and I love your paintings. I'd only wish I could afford to purchase one. Maybe some day... The yellow cauliflower is a cultivar which is grown for its intense color. There are other colors too, like brown and a very bright purple.
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Julie, the Red Onions are better than you think! The fracturing is working and the painting is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting, Julia. I find the deep reds in red onions very hard to paint, but this is a wonderful success.
ReplyDeleteYour red onions are definitely glowing with the beautiful iridescence! Wow - really terrific, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Julie! The colors are so rich and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these onions..a great watercolor!
Great job........especially the green stalks.....they are so life-life. And the onion skin is just right. So glad you had fun and kept hubby happy. It's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteYour watercolour fracturing is just as good as your oils, believe me! Really lovely
ReplyDeleteWonderful rich colors in this Julie! I'm sure you will get the fracturing how you like it eventually. It looks great to me!! I don't think there is another name for the yellow cauliflower, I have never had one but have had a bright lime green one!
ReplyDeleteI do love the color on the purple onions and sometimes buy the purple ones just because of the color myself. I've seen purple cauliflower before (on tv), but not yellow. Interesting. And as always, your painting turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteWhatever you are doing with these watercolors is working on my end! This one looks absolutely luminous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Julie. I am enjoying your watercolors, even though I don't always comment. You have put me in the mood to try some w/c myself. I am amazed that you can try the fracturing technique on w/c/ Very excited to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Julie! I love the subject , the colors and the technique - so very striking!!!
ReplyDeleteThe most transparent and jewel-like violet-wow. I love this and the exploration of your fracturing- yes, luminous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your cauliflower is an orange hybrid called "Cheddar". Lovely color.
ReplyDeleteYep, Cheddar Cauli. Those onions are YUMMY - what a great painting - I'm totally smitten with it! ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Love this painting!
ReplyDeleteI saw yellow cauliflower in our grocery store for the first time just last week. I wonder if it has more vitamins than the white?
