Description 5 1/2 x 7 inches, watercolor, in my moleskine sketchbook. I did this while my students were working on simple shapes. This was my homework while they did theirs.

I don't know why, but it's really fascinating

Amazing! I never thought that corn can be this interesting to draw, I might try one someday.
Excellent work bro

This is beautiful! I've never used watercolors, but I wonder if you worked from the lightest values to the darkest?

Thank you! I drew the structure with a bright pink color pencil, then built up from very light to very saturated.

wow beautiful colors and simple shapes! I feel like I can touch it.
what kinds of watercolors do you use? cakes or liquid paint?

Thank you, very much. I am using a Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolors Compact Set. I love it. I am also using a water brush, a brush that holds water in the handle. It's great, because I don't have to have a water pan. Very portable.

that's really cool and convienient (sorry my spelling has been off lately)! I've tried taking water jars to places I visit like parks and zoos and sometimes they spill all over the place >.<
