Description
This was the first in my sushi series. It's 9" by 12", watercolour. I had it posted in the fall, so many of you have probably seen it before. Most of my work lately has been animals, so I apologize for posting older stuff until I get a couple of things I'm working on finished.Related content

Thank you very much! Well, for the little round things that look like buds or flowers, I treated each one like a seperate little wash. Just a little circle of water to dampen the area, and then a quick line of burnt umber around the outside of the circle. The damp paper made the burnt umber run just a bit to make them look "fluffy".

Cool, it looks beautiful!

That's frustrating, for sure - If I notice that I'm getting brush strokes, I usually go back over it with a little more water to help soften it a bit.

Thanks! I think this is the one with the most favourites. I had a lot of fun with it; I just woke up one day and said, "I think I'll paint some sushi..."

Oh, really
I'm married with a Japanese guy, too (I'm actually from Germany),
Two days ago we've had our 8th wedding anniversary and I can say, that those were 8 WONDERFUL years without any fight or bad words between us. 
Oh and yes, Japanese food... I really enjoy cooking that way and preparing some artistic lunch box for my kids every morning

Interesting coincidence - my first wife was born in Bremerhaven and my second (and current) wife was born in Hamburg.

Oh, this is an coincidence indeed
I'm from a small village near Frankfurt am Main, my hubby is from Nagoya, but lived 8 years in Germany, where we met. Now we live in Hakodate (Hokkaido) and feel like we found "home" and peace for us and the kids.
Have you ever been to Germany? Or to Japan?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm afraid I've never been to either, although I was an alternate for a foreign exchange programme when I took German in high school. I was familiar enough with the culture, but my language skills were pretty pathetic.

German grammar is a nightmare... also for Germans sometimes

Just looked at your Sushi plate again...

I've been thinking I need to do a sumi-e crab. For some reason, the genre seems to lend itself well to sea creatures.

This is VERY beautiful. Youve really used the watercoloring well. Looking at it makes it have that delicate feel. :3 I really love this.

Thank you very much! This is probably my most popular one. I need to paint more sushi, actually...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, no problem. Plus I really wouldn't mind seeing more sushi at all!

Thanks very much! Sorry about the watermark - I've had some problems with people "borrowing" my work.

Wow! Thank you very much! I think I was sitting at the gallery one day and just said, "You know, I think I'm going to paint...some sushi!" I must have been hungry.

your welcome.
I get cravings for it all the time. Luckily it's a healthy addiction and not that expensive. My bank account still hates me for it though.

Too true! In a world full of fast food, it's nice to have something that won't hurt you.

The chopsticks are so realistic. The angles for a wonderful composition
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why, thanks! I'm afarid this sushi would taste a bit bland, though!

Very beautiful. Like I've said about you're other sushi paintings. Looks soo real it makes me hungry.

Thanks! I always get a kick out of painting these. When I get a little time, i'm goingto make a serious effort to extend the series - there's no sushi in my new gallery!

Thank you so much! I do, too; it's the neat treat that's fun to eat!

Excellent work - especially the shine and texture.

Thanks very much! I think the texture of the paper (as in pastel) really helps this one - the rice looks "ricier" somehow. I don't know how I managed to get those chopsticks like that - I drink far too much coffee to have a hand that steady.

Yes the chopsticks are excellent.
