Another Small Floral


While others were taking a 30-day painting challenge in September, I felt like I needed to have something to paint.  I started this 6” x 6” watercolor from a photo of a potted hydrangea that was taken inside a store.  It was lit well enough to give me the needed light and shadow.  Having put it aside many times, I would go back to it building up many wet layers.  Cobalt Blue and Permanent Rose are the primary colors used along with some New Gamboge Yellow.  I enjoy doing these small florals in between larger pieces to keep me in practice.
