persimons

This little sketch if from my watercolor paper sample book where I am trying out different manufactures' paper. This was painted across the gutter which used two different papers. Both are Lanaquarelle 140lb. The one on the right of the screen is cp and the left one is hp. The deepest orange used was my new Schminke color, Translucent Orange. I was sure if I liked it at first but now I do. It has greater transparency than cadmium orange. The persimons look a bit like orange strawberries here but these were more pointed than the flatter ones I am use to seeing.
