I’m joining a group of artists in Paint Party Friday! Here is my first piece that I’m submitting. It started out okay, but I felt it needed a little more umpfff, they are chili peppers after all and they carry some umpff.
So here’s what I ended up with. I like it and it’s finished other than I think I’ll sign and date it.
I opened up a new set of Prismacolor Nupastels and I’ve never used them before (pastels) so I was thrilled when the very first thing I create from them actually pleased me. They were a lot of fun and quick. I wasn’t even planning on creating anything, just going upstairs to straighten while Asher did a little creating and I took the plastic off and loved the colors so I had to play.
I love it Jaime. Especially since it’s one of my favorite foods. I never paint chili’s and need to try that some time. You’ve done a great job with these Prisma Pastels. Well done and glad you are participating in PPF. Happy PPF to you and have a great weekend.
good job, I like still life.
Your peppers are wonderful! Great job!
Happy PPF!!

Hi Jaime~ So nice to meet you through PPF. Loving the red hot chili peppers! And I must say I totally love your studio!!
that is grand that the first time you use a new product you are happy with the results, very cool, or should I say ‘hot’ ;-}
Welcome to the party. Love your work. The strong colors work very well with the subject! Well Done! 😉

Jaime- WELCOME to the party! And WOW what a perfect piece to start with! I love the changes you made to the peppers- that blue background was a perfect choice! I love paintings of food……of course, I love food, so that goes without saying 😉
