Flower Garden

Another quick loosely painted watercolor of a flower garden.

Colored Pencil Drawing #1

I've been looking at some of the colored pencil drawings and decided to post my rose.

Dogwood Blossoms

I finally finished my painting of the dogwoods. I painted the background three times before I was satisfied. I would paint a while...then leave it and let it dry before working on it again. By the time I finished, the edges of my flowers were turning brown.

White Azalea

Today is Easter...
a beautiful sunny day...
a day to enjoy the beauty of God's world around us.

For this painting, I used a masking fluid to mask
out the entire flower. Then I painted the
background with a wet-into-wet technique.
Removing the mask can sometimes be a daunting task,
but it's always nice to see the clean white area
of the paper to begin painting
the flower.
Also, sometimes it's difficult to paint the white
flower without using any white paint.

Can't stop painting them...

They're so beautiful and the yard is full of blooms.
It's hard not to paint them while they're here.
