Egg Plant in Watercolour
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
This month we are focusing on dark coloured subjects. The Egg Plant is a great subject for looking at high shine and very deep values in the shadow areas. Intense contrast like this builds great form. Whilst this isn't an overly difficult project it does require patience as the layers really do need to dry off in between each application.
I hope you enjoy it!
