I am concentrating on watercolor painting this month
as I participate in World Watercolor Month,
doing a painting a day for the month of July
and posting it on social media,
to promote and support junior artists worldwide
One of the prompts last week was “Passion”
This was a no-brainer for me,
as I am passionate about painting flowers 😊
I found several photos on Pinterest of flowers in jars
Then I created my own arrangement with my paint brush,
combining elements from different photos
I started by placing flowers on the paper
Then I added the jar
Stems and leaves
Then I added dark areas to help make the lighter flowers pop
Darkening the jar and petals
Reflections of the colors in the water
“Summer Bouquet” 9″ x 12″ watercolor on 140lb cold press paper
What is your favorite thing to paint?
The prompts in the Doodlewash monthly challenges
will make you paint things you normally wouldn’t
which is a good way to grow and learn…
Be Fearless!
