Linda has us doing loose watercolor flowers following a video tutorial by Andrew Geeson. You need to watch the video - it is so fun how he names and talks to his paintbrushes.

Julie has us visiting proflowers for inspiration. I was inspired by this flower arrangement:
ArtNudge
The colors I used for my loose tulips came from the ArtNudge0226B inspiration photo which you can find on the ArtNudge Facebook page or the website. The photo also has tulips in it.

Love this technique, Nancy! It's amazing to me that laying down colours on paper can result in such a beautiful image.
Your work is always inspiring.

Your loose tulips have such an effortless elegance. The warm palette gives the blooms a soft glow, and the dropped petal adds a lovely sense of movement. The splatter and light sponging keep everything airy while the sentiment grounds the design beautifully.
