While exploring Barcelona today I stumbled upon one of my favorite things ever.

Macarons.

It took a good amount of willpower, but I managed to get the tasty bits home, photographed and even sketched before eating them. If that’s not artistic dedication, then I don’t know what is.

I made a few studies of the individual cookies, but decided to focus on a poster-sized watercolor instead.

The paper needs a good pressing after the water-heavy washes, but I’ll do that when I’m back in Miami in my studio. Until then, I may just have to go back to the little shop and get more macarons. You know, for research 😉
