Two new watercolors. I am working with texture and pattern. I am also trying to get used to the new look of Blogger. Where do I register complaints!

Alex

Alex is a tall, beautiful model and I painted her quickly as she posed. Time was short so I had to be decisive. Having my watercolor crayons made it a little easier. I worked on gesso coated hot press watercolor paper. This one is 11" x 15".

Designing with the Figure

She looks like she is getting ready to go out, though she has a little sway going on. I worked from a sketch, using watercolor on gesso coated watercolor paper. I am having fun with shapes and textures in this one.

Just One

I decided to paint just one yellow rose in my little blue vase. Yellow roses can certainly brighten your day! This little watercolor floral is 10" x 8".

Sunflowers in a Blue Vase

Sunflowers are fun to paint. They are so large and beautiful that I just can't paint them small. I love the blues and purples that contrast with the yellows in this one. I also like the way the flowers look when they are just opening as these are. This watercolor is 18" x 14.5". Now I am off to see if I can find some more sunflowers to paint!
