HIBISCUS PEACH
Watercolor - 11x15
Like a lot of the country right now we are experiencing VERY cold temperatures and even some ice and snow so I decided to warm things up a bit by painting some warm, peach tropical hibiscus flowers.
I first wet the 140 lb watercolor paper and placed white tissue paper on top and then started applying the colors for the petals, leaves and background in a very free and loose style. When everything was dry I glued the tissue paper down and then used negative painting to firm up the edges. This is a fun way to create a textured surface for the watercolor paint.
Stay warm!
