Second Week of Watercolor Flower Class - Irises

IRIS DELIGHT
Watercolor - 11x15

For the second week of my class on Watercolor Flowers at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center we loosened thing up a bit by painting irises. Last week we slowly built up glazes on dry paper, this week we used wet paint on wet paper as we painted each petal of the flower. When that first application of paint was dry we added more detail and definition to the iris. Everyone did a great job and luckily we had much nicer weather than last week.
