Pear and … Pear

 I was watching internet videos on making watercolor look out of focus. This is a technique I’d like to learn as I have an idea for a series. I have learned a lot from just watching different artists and their processes. 

The first pear was an attempt at one artist’s method. It failed in the fuzzy look I was shooting for, but I liked what I wound up with. This morning I added detail (Barbie’s suggestion, I was just going to leave it as is.) with watercolor pencil. I learned several things. I pressed too hard and left an indentation in the paper on the bottom left. But I think it gives the painting more dimension. 

The second pear is much closer to what I was trying to achieve.
