I’ve not had a lot of time to paint lately but did manage these two in the poster color.
There has been a food challenge in another forum I belong to which is why I’ve painted that subject again with the Key Lime pie.
The other painting is of Cape Lookout lighthouse on the North Carolina coast. I’m not a landscape painter by any stretch of the imagination so any tips gratefully accepted.

We must leave our mark on this worldFebruary 5, 2019 at 4:57 pm #776237Thank you Gary and Doug.
I’m pretty pleased with the lighthouse since I normally don’t paint trees or landscapes.
And the pie makes my mouth water too as it’s probably my favorite! Thank Heavens painted pie has no calories!

February 11, 2019 at 5:34 pm #7762432 very good paintings,I prefer the lighthouse one,it is hard to paint convincing skys using poster paints but you managed it.
DaveFebruary 11, 2019 at 8:11 pm #776239Thanks, Dave,
If you have experience with poster colors, can you tell me how to prevent the white from drying shiny? The rest of the paint is matte, like gouache.
So far, it’s my only complaint with these paints.

February 15, 2019 at 12:45 pm #776242It did not work well on gouache. I had a few shiny spots that we not improved. Plus if you tilted the painting towards the light, it looked like some pitting. Gary
