In honor of National Watermelon Day!
Interesting facts about the artist who painted this still life painting. Raphaelle Peale (1774 – 1825) was an American painter who had siblings named after prominent artists and scientists. Their names include Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Angelica Kauffmann, Linnaeus, and Franklin. Their father was an artist, Charles Willson Peale.
Raphaelle Peale is considered the first professional American painter of still life.

@melpetersart invited me to @sapinchapong studio today to see his works. That was awe-inspiring. Sunny was a student of Sergei Bongart and he's got the touch of the old Russian Impressionism. I was impressed at the powerful impasto brush strokes and the dark bold colors. As soon as I got home I wanted to reproduce the same effects with acrylic and gouache. Combining gouache and acrylic, both of which waterbase has taught me some amazing discovery. They do mix and they do work together, but acrylic resists blending because it dries much faster and it will not dissolve again. Gouache dries slower and is more willing to blend with each other giving a softer hue mix. Acrylic would dry into a more uniform color and so much brighter with more contrast. Gouache would dry into a matte duller tone. I'm blown away by the differences. Gouache is a golden medium for me as I want so badly a replacement for oil.
