LAST ONE?


 I may do another but this may be the last amaryllis painting for a while.

I did each painting on different paper - hot press, cold press, rough, Arches, Stonehenge Aqua, Hahnemuehl.  It was interesting to see the different versions and how the paper worked with the watercolor.

Fantastic way of dividing the background space, it really makes the flower pop. A happy painting.

Thanks, Lisa. did it while planning the painting - and after doing the other one - so it gave me an idea to try. I do like to put lines behind my organic elements.
