What’s In The Cupboard? – Watercolor

“What’s In The Cupboard?” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

This painting was juried into the 118th International Works on Paper exhibition.

Royal Port Antiques in Salem, NJ has hosted me during the Arts-In-Bloom studio tour over the past three years. It is a pleasure to pull these wonderful antiques into a still life and paint for the day. Because of all the old crackled paint on the cupboard, I painted on Arches 300# rough paper. Below is the initial sketch. So much fun!

This painting is available and can be shipped framed to 16 x 20, or unframed at 11 x 15. Please email me with questions. mucciyvonne@yahoo.com

Precious Things – Watercolor

“Precious Things” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (sold, 11 x 15, framed to 16 x 20)

Had the pleasure once again of painting live at Royal Port Antiques in Salem, NJ for the Arts-In-Bloom studio tour. They have an amazing selection of antiques which move in and out quickly. The table I had my still life setup sold by the end of the day! The initial drawing and still life is shown below. I am using Hahnemühle watercolor paper which is a bit softer compared to Arches.

Take A Bite – Watercolor

Take A Bite watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 10 x 8, Sold)

My daughter planted an apple tree from a seed many years ago. Two of these apples were from the tree I thought would never grow. I set up this still life on my picnic table while the late afternoon sun was casting strong shadows. The color was so rich looking, it made me want to take a bite of those apples. They didn’t last long!

Below is a painting progression.

Bright Spots – Watercolor

I sketched out these flowers while I was waiting around at a show. I neglected to take a few photos and found myself painting from memory for a class demo. It reminded me that you don’t want to be a slave to your photo references. I knew the colors and light direction from memory, so I felt freedom in painting without the photo reference. Great fun pushing the color vibrancy in this watercolor.

This watercolor painting is available.
Frame size is 11 x 14, mat opening is 8.5 x 11

Something New – Watercolor

Something New watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Something New watercolor is a painting of some wonderful antiques to be found at Royal Port Antiques in Salem, NJ. Suzanne stages all of the antiques at Royal Port so that you can imagine them in your home. I found this still life on their front porch where I painted en plein air for the day as part of the Salem County Arts in Bloom tour. Half the fun was interacting with the community!

Thank you to Suzanne and Michael Cooke who hosted the Salem County Art League in their beautiful, huge antique store. If you’re in the area, it is well worth checking it out.

Spring Tulips Watercolor

Spring Tulips Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 15 x 16)

These tulips were a gift and they reminded me how enjoyable it is to paint directly instead of from a photograph. For me it is easier to see color, light and dark when painting directly. You don’t always have that opportunity, but when it presents itself, you have to go with it.

Apples and Pears

Apples and Pears Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

In this watercolor painting “Apples and Pears” I wanted to paint a simple subject and play up the sunlight and cast shadows. I haven’t painted fruit since my school days and was surprised at the difficulty. Liquid mask was used on the stems to allow me to paint through the background.

The second painting is a version of the same subject which was a demo for my watercolor workshop. The change in composition was a bit of an improvement.
