Flowers are one of my favorite things to paint. I often have my camera in hand as I’m walking through different neighborhoods. While on a “garden stroll” I found these flowers growing along a fence. I loved the color and shapes and knew I needed to paint them. In arranging the composition I wanted to create a simple floral design where the flower forms filled up the page. Using a complementary color scheme in transparent watercolor, I made the shapes stand out from the background. This was done to create drama for the viewer. I hope you enjoy looking at this image as much as I enjoyed painting it.
This painting was done in transparent watercolor on Arches paper.
