More Acorn Paintings
I’m having fun with these acorn drawings. Even though my style is usually loose, painting watercolor glazes over a graphite drawing produces a detailed, realistic painting and it’s a nice change of pace. These miniature pieces of art are fun and affordable.
“Occupied Acorn” is on a 5×5 piece of illustration board. Many layers of watercolor washes created a glowing acorn that looks just like the original acorn.
This “Tiny Acorn” is super cute and barely 1 inch long. I feel in love with its over-sized cap.
And here we have the trio. I added a little more shadow from the other day and blended it with a blending stump.
These acorns are available for sale.

Looks yummy! You’ve inspired me to go on the hunt for some acorns and do some pickling!!!
See you on September 25th at Little Red Schoolhouse for another sketching hike! Those are a lot of fun everyone!!
Alanna: Thank you! I can’t wait until the 25th!
Acorns are wonderful in every sense: finding them, bringing them home, selecting the best and then drawing them.
Paula: Yes, I agree! What a treasure! Thanks.
Those are really cute. 🙂
