Ways to Render a Pear 007 – Watercolor on Arches Cold Press
Click on image to enlarge.
I tried my pear on Arches Paper. The Cold Press is one the roughest papers, and not easily damaged by excessive water. It holds onto the pigment, and is less likely to lift if that is a desired effect. Arches Papers are generally well liked. I like how solid and saturated the colors look on this paper, but the brushes don’t glide accross it as easily.

I decided to do a bigger painting of this for “The Red Show” Exhibit. 9″x12″x1.5″ I used a Red underpainting for this one. I’ve been wanting to try this. I’m going to do it more often now.
