Watercolor Pineapple Slice 8 x 10 140# Hot Press Arches
I had so much fun painting my pineapple for my Be Like A Pineapple post about a week ago, that I wanted to do pineapple again.
This time I decided to do a juicy slice.
Pineapple is such a wonderful summertime fruit. It is delicious to eat all by itself, but it also pairs well with so many things – like the Pineapple Blueberry Salsa recipe I shared last month that I made to go with Fish Tacos. It’s delicious in rice and chicken dishes (like my Crock Pot Hawaiin BBQ Chicken Wraps with Pineapple Slaw), fruit salads, in upside down and Hummingbird Cake (oh do I love that!), and frozen in sorbet and sherbet.
What is your favorite way to eat pineapple?
I painted this pineapple slice on Arches Hot Press like I did the other as I love how fluid it allows the watercolor paint to flow when painting this luscious fruit. The colors I used were Lemon Yellow, Azo Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, New Gamboge, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, Green Gold and Sap Green.
Have a sweet day!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Jodi, this looks just like a pineapple slice! Great job!! I remember when your, Be Like a Pineapple, post came through but when I went to comment on it, it had been deleted. I never saw it come through again. I was going to comment on it that it looked just like a pineapple!

Thanks PJ! There was some WP glitch with email on that post for some reason, and I was bummed because it was one of my favorite paintings. I was away for the weekend and had it scheduled and it showed up on WP, but didn’t link to subscriptions or FB. Weird. Was still away the next day and scheduled post went as planned. Oh well – not life or death – LOL! Glad you enjoyed 🙂

I just felt like Hot Press would work best to make it “juicy!” I love the looseness of it for things like this 🙂 I really enjoyed doing it.

This time you’ve used Hot Press which one do you prefer for painting? Cold or Hot?

Thanks S! I like them both – but if I want a really “fluid” loose – “juicy” painting – I love hot press 🙂 Completely different experience.

Gorgeous Jodi. I can picture this hanging in a kitchen or the hallway to the kitchen, with some paintings of other fruit. You picture really does look juicy and tasty. My fav way to have pineapple is fresh, by far. However, in Pineapple Beans, and on pizza are also good.
