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

It's time for a break, it's time for...water colors! Welcome to the third post with water colors of flowers and leaves! This time I've chosen works from the fifth and sixth bathes. Due to an update my scanner will not function, so this time I've taken photos of them...

When I chose works for these posts I go with gut feeling and also what I think of the quality of the drawing and painting, because I do not want to waste your time with sub par works! ;-) 

Caragana arborescens

Salix caprea 'Kilmarnock'

The following three works are from the sixth batch, Helianthus annuus.

Petunia x hybrida

Tagetes erecta

Hi!

The week is coming to an end and you know what time it is? Yeah, it's water color time!!! I will now treat you to samples from the third and fourth batches. Just earlier today I came to think of the fact that I mention my works of art as batches...well, a small price for being productive I guess! ;-)

Enjoy and take care!

Brunnera macrophylla, when looking at these three paintings one (or I) can see an improvement in both drawing and painting.

Dicentra formosa, when I made the first paintings I needed so much water that there were pools of paint in my water color set, now the pools have diminished and it seems that I find the correct color faster.

Lamprocapnos spectabilis, I think this is one of my favorite flowers.

Betula pendula 'Youngii', the following ones are from the fourth batch, I chose this one for I like the painting, it looks like it has been done in a jiffy and has a feeling of improvisation and lightness.

Prunus 'Acolade', here was the first time when I noticed that my drawing skills started to improve...

Prunus x eminens 'Umbraculifera', ...and this time the painting improved also...

Salix euxina 'Bullata', I'm not sure but I like this one...!
