today on painting friends we challenged ourselves to try and paint a quick sketch a day.. we are using the alphabet as our guide.. so today we started with A.. lol

we have a few avocado trees so thought, ok that will be different... since they are hass avo's, they have bumpy skin.. first i tried just pressing the scott towel lightly, over fresh paint, to give it some texture, but it just wasn't enough.. so i re-wet, adding light wash of color and used my stylus, while still wet.. i think that gives it a great suggestion of bumps.. with out painting every single bump!!! LOL these look yummy, wish they were ripe, would have an avo sandwich...
