Peppers

Last week I was sitting in Connie's kitchen waiting for her kids to get home from school. Sitting on the countertop by the window was a bowl of fruits and vegetables with the sunlight dropping down on them. Grabbing my watercolor pencils, I got to work. I didn't finish in time as the bus soon pulled up.

As I had started with the orange pepper first and worked my way to the left, the whole composition definately leans to the left. I think it looks better this way than had I done it more level. I also like the brightness of the colors but I need to work on generating deeper contrasts with the watercolor pencils. What you think is dark enough really fades once you bring on the water.
