First congrats to the hostesses (and all of us) who have made it through 1 year of watercolor challenges!! It has been quite a journey.
Today Brenda has us painting tulips. I sketched my basic tulip shape on WC paper then started with apple green on the leaves. Next I popped in a bit of Kelly green - time for shadows and a leap of faith - I added brown to the greens on my tray and then some black and flicked these colors into the recesses of my leaf trying to create an illusion of some curves. Now to the flower - I began with pale yellow at the base of the petals and then used varying intensities of real red and carmine. I considered adding a pale blue wash which I could see working in my minds eye BUT in the end decided to leave well enough alone as I was concerned about the carmine bleeding . . . Die cut the SB sentiment and fancy edge on the yellow and layered it all together.
