Garden – IF
March 9, 2008 IF, prismacolor, watercolor
We’re Meant Together | Watercolor + Prismacolor
This week’s theme in IF is ‘Garden’. I was looking for a subject to draw when I noticed some tiny plants waved at me from under the shrubs as if they were saying “pick us, pick us, we’re photogenics”. Of course I really have to pick them because they’re such wonderful subjects. Really had joy painting this one, enjoyed every minute of it!
The Fairy Lilies and the wild plants complement each other very well, don’t you think so?
Done in watercolor, enhanced with Prismacolor. 3 hours. Paint directly from nature, picked some for color studies.
Have a great weekend, y’all!

Very attractive illustration. The upsweep of the composition gives it some forward movement which reminds me of a gentle breeze. Nice! Think I’ll go have a drink and sit on the porch.
