Description Aladdin and Abu eat an apple in Agrabah, while Abis Mal and Amin Damoola await an opportunity.

An idea I had for Disney-club's April A's contest back at the start of the month. I thought of a watercolor image, kind'a like a kid's alphabet thing. Something cute. ...And I did have some unopened watercolors I bought, uh, maybe a year or two ago, having thought about trying watercolors but then never doing so (well, I recall using watercolor briefly in school once). But... I thought I should read some (and watch some videos on) watercolor first. And then I went out and bought some fancy paper and some other supplies two days ago. Yesterday I tested some cheap paper I had bought with the watercolors in the first place, but it got warped even with tape on it, so I got out some of the good stuff today.

So... I thought I'd do some little thumbnails or something to test the paper as well as color choices... But then I kind'a liked the thumbnail (or... I kind'a went a little overboard on getting it to look nice), so I might just enter it. Not sure yet.
I was thinking of adding some Easter eggs in the image (since Easter is in April), but this version was too small for that.

So.

Agrabah (more specifically, Aladdin's hovel) is a place from the movie. And, an apple is an important object from the movie.

Thanks. ^_^ Though, it's not really the first. There was a time or two in school, and I recall there being some of those little watercolor trays at home as a kid. But I had thought of watercolor as 'less' than other paints like acrylic. I kind'a looked down on it, so I didn't do much with it unless I had to. But, I also did four other watercolor paintings the day before this one to test things out. (I'm pretty sure this is the smallest watercolor painting I've done, though)
