Gertrude and Heathcliff – Watercolor

Gertrude & Heathcliff watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Gertrude & Heathcliff watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14, Available)

Gertrude and Heathcliff watercolor depicts my go to place down the shore. In this painting, I wanted to push the variety of color found in the water.

When I look at this watercolor it makes me chuckle a little imagining those birds carrying on a conversation. The name is a nod to the past when comedian Red Skelton performed skits about two seagulls named Gertrude and Heathcliff.

This painting is available and can be shipped.

Ebb and Flow – Watercolor

Ebb and Flow Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 24, Sold)

A very gray, hazy day resulted in this watercolor painting of the jetty down the shore.  When the tide is at the halfway point, fishing abounds!

This watercolor is part of the “Nature & The Landscape, An Environmental Perspective” exhibition at Gallery 50 in Bridgeton, NJ.  This regional wetlands competition resulted in a lot of gorgeous paintings from artists living in southern New Jersey.

The Shore – Watercolor

I am thrilled this painting will be part of the township’s permanent collection!

This is a view seen up and down the eastern seaboard.  It is of dune grasses waving in the breeze along the shore on a beautiful summer day.  I love the dynamic clouds that form over the ocean along with that panoramic view giving one the feeling of wide open space.  “The Shore” watercolor is painted on 140# Arches cold press. This watercolor is one of 17 paintings that I will be exhibiting at the Galleria Deptford.  The artist reception is Sunday, April 13 from 2 until 4pm.   Galleria Deptford is located in the Deptford Municipal Building, 1st and 2nd floors.  For more information on this venue, visit www.thelivingartsclub.org Click on the above painting to view details.

Surf Fishing Down The Shore – Watercolor

Surf Fishing Down The Shore (Framed 24 x 20) by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Surf Fishing Down The Shore (Framed 24 x 20) by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Entertainment by the ocean’s edge is never ending down the shore.  It was late afternoon on a cloudless day and I wanted to capture the contrast of the white surf against the dark blue water in this watercolor.  The surf fisher was lit up by the sun casting long shadows on the sand which set up a familiar scene that I had to paint.  It is painted on 140lb D’Arches watercolor paper.

You can click on the image to see a more detailed view of the painting.

This painting will be part of the Gloucester County College exhibition starting May 4th through the first week in June.  Artist reception is May 4th at 12pm till 2pm.

This sketch was done on the first day of vacation.  Wish there was more time to sketch, but now I need to start painting.

This sketch is of a friend enjoying a quiet afternoon watching the world go by.  The water views in St Thomas are all the entertainment you need.

Shark Island, Sapphire Beach

Shark Island in Sapphire Bay, St Thomas US Virgin Islands

View of Shark Island from Sapphire Beach

Depending on the time of day, Shark Island will illuminate and jump out of the sapphire and aqua water.  It is a beautiful sight to watch various sail boats cross the water.  St John is located to the right of the sketch.

Trade Winds Palm Tree

Trade Winds Palm Tree by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Trade Winds Palm Tree by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

I never realized how complicated a Palm tree is until I proceeded to put it down on paper.  The fronds are in constant movement changing the light continuously.  It was a challenge to sketch and I am sure it will be more of one once I begin the painting.

Secret Harbour, St Thomas USVI

Secret Harbour - St Thomas, USVI by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Secret Harbour, St Thomas by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Another beautiful day in St Thomas.  The sketch is of Secret Harbour, a little cove across from Sapphire Beach which is sheltered from the trade winds.  It is like swimming in an aquarium with perfectly calm clear water!  I want to change the format from horizontal to vertical based on the photos taken when the final watercolor is painted.

Sapphire Bay Sketchbook

Sea Grape Trees at Sapphire Bay by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Sea Grape Trees at Sapphire Bay Sketch

I’ve been visiting St Thomas, US Virgin Islands over the past couple weeks.  Stunning views.  The trade winds were a little too strong for watercolor painting, but my sketchbook came in handy.  Sapphire Bay is breathtaking and the Sea Grape trees provide welcome shade from the sun.  I’ll make this view a little wider to show more of the ocean for the watercolor painting.

Wheel Loader Watercolor

Just finished this painting.  I admire watercolorist Paul McCormack and tried to use some of his techniques for building skin tones.  My skin tone palette was mostly Yellow Ochre, Cerulean Blue and permanent Rose.  The granulation of the Cerulean Blue was a challenge and I may substitute Cobalt Blue (which was suggested in a demo) for the next painting that includes skin tones.

I also found that you really need to adjust the cast shadows to allow for the detail to be shown in the face.  I never want to copy a photograph.  The finished painting has to make sense and stand on its own.

One of my favorite places!

I travel to southern Florida quite often.  You have to go pretty far south before you hit that beautiful blue/green water.  As the title of this post states, it is one of my favorite places.  I love the way the sky changes the color of the water.  Every day is different and you can spend endless hours trying to capture the feeling you get when you’re sitting by the ocean.

  • Always have a camera with you to catch the sky.
  • A sketchbook is also extremely helpful because you can make detailed notes on the color of the sky and water.  Often a detailed sketch will give you the additional information that a camera doesn’t capture.

A Day At The Beach – Strathmere, NJ

 

Intrigued Framed 16 x 20 By Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Intrigued (Framed 16 x 20) By Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Talk about a perfect day at the beach. Pictured is a typical day at the Jersey Shore. Strathmere beach is usually pretty quiet and it wasn’t crowded this day. The sky was solid blue and the light was perfect. I sketched this boy as he played and took a series of photos which turned into a beautiful painting. Right before we left, I gave the boys grandparents one of the black and white sketches I had completed.

I wanted to learn how to portray waves and putting the boy in the foreground gave the waves the right perspective. Plus it made the painting much more interesting. The color of the water and the sand is completely different in southern New Jersey compared to Florida. Much cooler colors.

This painting is currently on exhibit at the Gloucester County College.
