Aprhodite and the pumpkin


On Tuesday 23 Nov the topic at Art Club was Copperware and vegetables - a still life. We don't own any copperware (hate cleaning it) so I took a sphleter statue of Aphrodite and an unripe undersized pumpkin. Don't ask what the connection is!

This is painted with St Petersburg White Nights watercolour paint on Bocking ford paper and measures approx 8" by 12". It really didn't go too well and the statue certainly needs a reddish glaze to correct the colouring.
