Water colors 5

Well, another week is coming to an end and I would like to treat you to some water colors! Today it will be examples from batches nine and ten!

Take care!



Santolina chamaecyparissus


Plectranthus scutellarioides


Tropaeolum majus, the above three paintings are from the ninth batch and the following from the tenth.


Antirrhinum majus


Begonia x tuberhybrida


Brugmansia suaveolens


Lathyrus odoratus, when I started painting this one and especially the leaf, I noticed that it was a really good drawing and that I really didn't want to make a mess of it with the paint!


Nicotiana sylvestris

Water colors 4

Another week is coming to an end and the weekend is so close you can almost touch it, the best feeling ever! Before you start your weekend I offer you a short break with four small paintings. This time they come from the seventh and eighth batches.

Somewhere along this project I realized that green is quite a complicated color. The bought colors of green did not really to the trick. It was when I started to blend my own greens that I sort of got the hue right. So, a piece of the learning curve so far is to mix my own greens!

Take care!



Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea


Pullmonaria saccharata


Ipomea batatas


Euphorbia graminea Diamond Frost
