Study of Still Life by John Barber

Watercolours, pencil on A4-ish watercolour paper.

This one I like, even if it's simple. I was a little worried about the colours being too bright and garish, but I suppose they balanced out quite nicely. In the original process, gum arabic was used to thicken the dark brown colour on the basket and then using the handle of the brush to carve out the lighter tones. I didn't have gum arabic so I used masking fluid and reversed the process.
