Newest Piece in Progress

Once again, we're creating pieces based on the theme "food" and my newest piece, I have decided is going to be rice and red stew sauce. The rice is a metaphor for loniless. I feel like, rice is a food that longs to be with something else, because people always eat rice allong with another food. Therefore, my piece will have rice and red stew sauce because rice slowly soaks up stew sauce as if it wants to become one with it. The media I will be using is water color, since that is a media I feel that I need to grow in and it would be perfect for representing a food that is supposed to be soaking in another food. My scale will be extremely close up, probably about 6-8 rice grains taking up one large sheet of paper. The reason for this is because, rice is so small and intricate that it would take more than the time given for this project to paint a large amount of rice grains. I hope this project turns out well!
