Putting Potatoes into Perspective-Arteza gouache, Black Tulip Flat & Rigger, Hahnemühle Cold Press Collection paper

#DoodlewashMarch2021 prompts: Potatoes. Did you know that potato blossoms used to be fashionable? Marie Antoinette made them all the rage when she wore one in her hair. Out of all the brush shapes, I find the rigger the hardest to use. I decided that I'd use one to try and get all those perspective lines lined up. Phew! Only took about 5 times longer than it needed to, lol. I also remembered why I don't do perspective too often. It's kind of boring. I made some compositional choices that I'm not over pleased with. One of those case where I fell in love with details but they don't really help the overall painting.

Medium: Arteza Gouache, Brushes: ZenArt Black Tulip Flat & Rigger, Paper: Hahnemühle Cold Press ‘The Collection’ paper. Photo reference courtesy of b52_Tresa at Pixabay. @zenartsupplies #PostcardsForTheLunchBag @Hahnemühle_USA
