Periscope Demo Today, Tomatoes

How many colors does it take to paint a tomato? Let's find out!

Live demo and discussion of watercolors used to paint tomatoes. 

Today I did a live broadcast on painting a plate of thickly sliced Roma tomatoes. Watch the replay at periscope.tv/michelecoopart.

Here's the result of my live demonstration in watercolor. 

The word of the day

Heirloom.

What comes to your mind when you hear that word?

Start with a title. 

Instead of looking around for objects that you could use as painting subjects, why not look around for titles that will generate a painting? I can think of lots of still life objects like jewelry pieces, chinaware, pottery, tools, watches, quilts, etc. that would fit the word "heirloom".  What do you feel like painting today?
