old keys

"old keys" 
 watercolour sketch
AQUARELLE CLAIREFONTAINE 
30 X 40cm 

.....initial unfinished watercolour study of an assortment of old keys painted from life .  Studies are  often just a starting point.. I'm sharing this recent study  as I really liked the effect created by "washing off"  areas of some of the old keys ..I had to stop at this point .

  12. We don't need to go too far away to find an exotic subject to paint. Most of the time the best effective subject matters are those we are familiar with. Wonderful!
