The Buffet

While we were in Cabo, I saw a lot of chefs cooking, and took a lot of photos.  This was one morning at the breakfast buffet. It was out side which made it even more fun. This is watercolor but it is painted on watercolor paper coated with gesso first. I don't think I got a true color on their faces. They aren't really this dark red. This is not my normal way of painting but is fun, and I always enjoy doing something different. It is 11x15. It will be framed to 16x20.

ANCIENT by Carol Peterson

"Ancient" by Carol Peterson 15" x 11" watermedia on gesso $300 This is the second painting I did while demonstrating for the opening of the West Texas Watercolor Society's Spring Show.  I used watersoluble pens, some india ink, and watercolor on an old painting that had gesso and watercolor applied to it.  The image was taken from a photo of a model that I encountered at my life drawing group.  He was a former professor with a fascinating face. www.carolpetersonart.com
