Once I finish this project of a suite of food images for a food lovers' guide to my area, I'll be ready, more than ready, to plunge back into the water (paintings) again! Actually, though I love color, I've really enjoyed this dip into black and white world. I have 20 images---thought I 'd share a few with you. Btw, Daniel Smith's Lunar Black is a FINE product! It granulates so exuberantly, you almost think you're painting in color!

These are wonderful! I especially love the compositions and the way the objects in each image seem to be dancing on the page. I bet all these "value studies" will pay off too, in your next projects. Were these all done in DS Lunar Black (and ink)? They're very inspiring to see -- makes me want to do some black and white watercolor of my own!

These are beautiful, Laura! Are these going to be published somewhere? If so, I hope you say where. They're all scrumptious-looking!

Laura, I absolutely love these -- you do black and white just as beautifully as you do color! Fantastic!
And the DS Lunar Black -- duly noted. That's very nice to know...

Very elegant sketches, I envy your ability to do this so well.
These will be a wonderful addition to any foodie script.

OOh- I love them, Laura! I hope you were able to go out and do direct research, and eat lots of luscious food. I can't wait to see the guide - it will inspire us to visit your neighborhood again.

Wish you'd add in a guide to where for each!

Very elegant. Very Laura.

I see it all now...Daniel Smith experiences a run on Lunar Black...the astronauts have to plan another trip to bring back moon rocks...
GORGEOUS, Miss Girl! And of COURSE I want a tube, now...

These are beautiful sketches! You are such an amazing artist!
Posted by: Deborah | July 05, 2009 at 12:05 PM
Thanks very much! Kate, you're going to love Lunar Black! Sue, yes, they will be in a book coming out this fall. I'll give details soon.

Just gorgeous Laura, who would think monotone paintings could be so lively. I've had a big project drawing food too, but very differently and comparatively boring - no creative license at all :(!

SO delicious!!
They actually shine.
