Too Much Caffeine, 5x7 Watercolor and Ink

 

My Pieces of Eight painting group was challenged to create something real and something unreal with a favorite cup. This is mine.

Take Ten, 5x7 Still Life Coffee Cup

I am continuing my ten-minute painting exercise, and I found this piece of canvas that I had used to practice a spatter effect on. I enjoy doing these quick little paintings on black. I think it makes me use thicker strokes, which is one of my goals. I don't know why it's so hard to put the paint down and leave it alone. If you pick at it, it never gets well. I like my results here, and I am going to continue doing the ten-minute ones for practice.
