Watercolor melon

Hi everyone, today is a watercolor day. I've been under some stress lately with all the things I have to do in my life and the weather. But today I had to take a sick leave because I guess all these things triggered my asthma and I've been coughing. So I slept a bit and used this time to destress by painting with watercolor since it's actually the more coming medium for me.

Here's the final piece

I started with a sketch

Then I painted the base colors. I used permanent red light and madder red lake to paint the red part of the watermelon. I used sap green and lemon yellow to paint the green bits. Still using my van gogh watercolor set which I'm very pleased with and hahnemule watercolor paper.

Thanks for stopping by!
