Green Glory Aceo by Robin Maria Pedrero

"Green Glory" by Robin Maria Pedrero

Original new watercolor painting – Large Still Life

I’ve just added two new ACEO’s to my shop.

I created this first one as a part of a challenge in my watercolor group.  “Lemon-Lime”  was painted with just 3 pigments – a red, a blue and a yellow. This was really fun. I often rely on the fantastic pigments produced by my favorite companies, but it was a great exercise to create with a limited palette and mix my own colors.

This is a scan of the ACEO before I trimmed it. You can see the three pigments I used on the side and under it are some of the mixes I created and used.

You can click on either picture to find this ACEO in my Etsy shop!

While I had my palette prepared with these three colors, I decided to try painting a landscape I had sketched out. It is the view of Mt. Hood, Oregon, that we get when we have a clear day! I’m really pleased with what I could do, again, with just 3 pigments!

Again, you can click on the picture to see the Mt. Hood ACEO in my shop!

Thanks for stopping by the ACETSY blog!

February Challenge

Eleven Fifty Six

Original Watercolor Painting

ACEO - Art Card

Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches

I'm on day 26 of my Painting A Day Challenge for the Month of February. It has been going so well. I haven't missed a day yet! Although I did come close one day, I remembered at 11:56 pm that I had not done a painting. I jumped out of bed and went right into my studio and whipped up this little floral painting. I looked at the clock and it read 11:59 pm. Phew! One minute to spare! Out of all the paintings I have created this month, this one is a keeper for my private collection.

More of my Original Watercolor ACEOs from my Painting A Day for the Month of February Challenge can be found in my

Thank you all for the support and camaraderie!
