This set of three 4"x6" watercolor paintings is called "Gelato Bar" for its pastel color scheme, which reminded me of the row of fruity flavors of gelato available at a large gelaterie in Florence, Italy.
As with all of my patterned watercolor paintings, first I selected which patterns to use (out of the literal hundreds I've designed in Adobe Illustrator over the years). I traced these patterns onto separate pieces of watercolor paper cut to 4"x6" and then taped them down to keep the paper flat while I painted.
The first painting in this trio has a pastel orange-yellow color scheme.
For the next painting I completed, I used a pastel blue-green color scheme.
Finally, I used a pastel pink and purple color scheme for the third painting.
I just love these colors! Here is the completed set of three:
I framed the set in a single frame, with a mat that had three openings for 4"x6" artworks. Because the fronts are unsigned, this frame can be hung in any orientation or direction, horizontally or vertically.
