RE: Lilies

in #art7 years ago

I love watercolor. It is so fresh :) Do you have to mix the color to match the real life flower? I was also surprised that ink is applied after water color, for some reason i was always thinking that first you draw and then fill in with the colors :) P.S. Just just have noticed that last two letters of you initials give a second thought. Tell men it's not what i am thinking. As it might be just extremely hot weather and little sleep :) Cheers!

Sort:  

Yes I mix the colours, but i deliberately kept the green of the leaves lighter, in reality it is darker but that colour combination did work for this piece. I often draw with inks then add the watercolour, but today i wanted to experiment a bit.
Not sure what you mean about by name!
