Grapes watercolour

Grapes watercolour

My mum kept saying that I should have a go at painting some grapes.
 A couple of friends suggested to use white gouache over the watercolour to get the patchy effect, but I found I didn't need it in the end.  Thought they looked ok as they are.  I might try the gouache suggestion next time I paint grapes though.

Josie watercolour

Josie watercolour

After painting the oil of Marlowe I felt I needed to do another watercolour. 
I wanted to paint my friends Labrador Josie for a while as she is such a pretty girl.  Just playing around, but it came out nicer than I expected, so I framed it up and gave it to my friend Eileen.  She was very happy.
