ISLAND HIBISCUS
Watercolor - 11x15
For Island Hibiscus I began by lightly sketching the two hibiscus and leaves on to 140 lb watercolor paper. Then, I taped off the outer border and applied an even coat of turquoise watercolor, being careful to paint around the leaves. I placed plastic wrap on the wet paint to create a textured, marble look. Them I proceeded to painting the flower, leaves and a light, inner background. The border adds a fun, creative look to the finished painting and is ready for a frame.
