This is a watercolor painting of a macro still life. The subject matter is a lace pumpkin with a background that complements the main color. One new skill used in this assignment was using complementary colors to improve the overall quality. The main art elements are value, color and texture. Value helps with the texture; I had to use different shades of orange to emphasize the lace on the pumpkin and give it depth. This also ties in with color, as I mixed many different shades of orange and used a complementary color to emphasize the orange. This is a very still painting that gives the idea of a snapshot. There's not a lot of movement or flow.
