Although it's officially autumn, I couldn't resist to do these paintings when I bought the guidebook "Wonderful Watercolors with Paul Brent". (The dragon flies and bees posted some time ago also came from this book)
It's a good step-by-step book with templates to use too! It meant to guide me to "watch painting skills: Blossom like never before"! What do you think of these blossoms?
I was so tempted to re-do the strawberries as the seeds don't look good. I should jave used a smaller brush with the masking fluid. Anyway ......
When framed, I think these paintings will fit nicely in a kitchen (of course, I'm thinking of a big kitchen, big enough to set a working bench in the middle, and have lots of windows through which you can see a big backyard garden, and not the tiny kitchen which I have at home!)
Both 17cm x 17cm, W&N watercolor papers, 140lb CP paper (W&N cotman or were they Canson?)
