Pears watercolor painting

This three pears is painted on 8 x 10 inches cold press watercolor paper.  The left pear was painted first and then from left to right, each pear was painted with layers of watercolor wash.  The background was painted last with several layers of Burnt Umber mixed with Winsor violet and Ultramarine blue.  It is a challenge to mix black without using black watercolor paint.  I have added some spatter with a tooth brush for the final touch on the pear watercolor painting.
