Watercolor Wet and Wild Challenge - Pinecone


What a challenge for me...Whoa!!!....what a lesson! Lost in the maze of the form and using monochromatic brown, my most unfavorite color. In the end, I'm happy with it. Now what to do with it??

It looks so realistic, it's amazing. I struggle to get things to look half-way this good. Trust me, I see a lot of pinecones where I live in Maine. Hey, it's snowing again...................
Try another pinecone picture but paint the white dried sap on it. There's a challenge for you.
Happy painting!

It's a "WOW". I love the way you mastered the depth and fore shortening of the cone petals.
