Welcome December and Winter Wonderland 31 Days 31 Painting Challenge!!!
Today following December watercolor prompt list is “PEPPERMINT” I am joining Charlie at doodlewash for this fun Adventure!
This is the most beautiful time of the year let’s get in the mood with this first painting! For this challenge I started a brand new tiny sketchbook 3.5 x 5.5 inches size so I will be painting a kind of miniatures and work on small details! During this month I will be also testing new paint and pens!
Today in USA is “Thanksgiving Day” I wish a wonderful day to everyone!
And on November watercolor prompt list today is “TURKEY” I am joining Charlie at doodlewash for November Adventure!
I loved to paint my turkey here with all his Royalty and colors in all his beauty and “Alive” 🙂 I titled my post as “One Happy Turkey” and he is in between the flowers, sunflower and cranberries, bringing a message of happiness, joy and life to all and sharing this Thanksgiving Day with us out of a plate! I personally won’t eat a turkey today or any meat, there are beautiful and plenty of other wonderful dishes that I will eat to celebrate this day! But this is just me! ❤ I wish everyone a wonderful and great Thanksgiving Day and I am sending love to all!
Today following November watercolor prompt list is “CRANBERRIES” I am joining whenever I can doodlewash for November Adventure!
Today is also celebrated as “Cranberry Relish Day” I didn’t really know about this one until now! No much time to write today but I managed to paint my Cranberries! ❤
Today following November watercolor prompt list is “MUSHROOMS” I am joining whenever I can doodlewash for November Adventure!
I was very happy to paint this one, because I love mushrooms not just to look at their colors and beautiful shapes, there are so many kinds I love to look at some wonderful botanical illustrations. Mushrooms are a very beautiful subject for nature inspired watercolor paintings. My painting has the colors of the Fall Season. I directly painted with the watercolors without previously tracing with pencil, I just painted the shapes straight on the paper. I combined the mushrooms with leaves and acorns. I loved the after washes ink drawing, like in a second layer I created the leaves and the acorns.
Editable mushrooms also are filled with lots of nutrients and are a great source of vitamins and minerals very good for our health in a daily diet. I eat them a lot and mostly raw in a variety of salads and also I love to eat the big Portobello Mushrooms. I used to cook them in many delicious ways, but right now that I follow a raw vegetarian-vegan diet, the big Portobello ones are amazing raw topped with some avocados, chopped tomatoes, hummus and more there are lots of tasty options for a wonderful Mushroom sandwich! ❤
Today according to Charlie prompt list is “BEETS” I am joining in at doodlewash for this day of November Adventure!
I like beets they have many health benefits? They are delicious and very pigmented their intense color is beautiful. It was nice to paint this today. I did it first thing in the morning to make sure I could grab the time to paint.
Today according to Charlie prompt list is “Cupcakes” I am joining in at doodlewash for this day of November Adventure!
Who doesn’t love cupcakes? They are delicious and often very colorful. I loved to paint this today. You can’t really see but there is a touch of gold around her hair framing the face and a little touch on the cupcake! I wanted to try a new Gelly gold pen by Sakura (Japan) and actually I like it! Llooks beautiful for little touch of gold. The color of the gold is very nice!
Today I love to celebrate the Cappuccino Day and I am joining Charlie at doodlewash for this day of November Adventure!
I haven’t made a new watercolor because I am still recovering from InkTober lol 😉 kidding! I love this one very much. I painted it on last July for the wonderful #WorldWatercolorMonth I remember that was a very loved painting. So I decided to repost it as much I wanted to paint a new one!
I was born in Italy how I cannot love coffee and cappuccino, nonetheless espresso and all the kinds! It’s always time for a cup of coffee! 🙂
Today I had to celebrate while sipping a wonderful cup with all of you! ❤
