This piece is from a tutorial by Sarah Cray for Let's Make Art. I loved the picture and wanted to paint it, but I am not a fan of stripes. So when I transferred the outline to my watercolor block, I left the stripes out. When I realized that I needed them, it was too late to trace. So I drew a few and painted the rest. As I followed the tutorial I began to enjoy it and couldn't put the paint brush down!
I painted those stripes too dark and made them lighter by wetting them and wiping them with a paper towel. I loved the piece later, but realized that wiping the stripes, also wiped the shadows. I painted the shows back in around the basket and still love the painting.
I used Jane Davenport watercolors on a New York Central Art Supply watercolor block (140 lb.).
