4" x 4" watercolor on Arches cold press
I'm in love with fig season here in the Southwest, I don't remember ever seeing fresh figs back East during this time. Figs have that same sensuous curve like the pear but that aubergine color is wonderful to paint. The painting is actually a bit more purple in color, once it is saved for the web, colors sometimes lose their vibrancy. The purple is a wonderful Daniel Smith color, Quinacridone Violet. It's transparent yet blends and layers well. I need to find more purple things to paint. Like eggplant!
