Watercolour - Spring Flowers

We had a lovely class today, beautiful sunshine and a table full of pretty Spring Flowers.

After a quick initial sketch Claire showed us how to create a loose and free painting, trying not to get too "botanical" about it. We masked the outline of the white flowers and after our first wash we stopped for some lunch.

The afternoon was spent mixing some darker colours followed by some negative painting, dropping in some dark colours to lift the flowers and to create some shapes.

As you can see, they were all brilliant!


At the end of the afternoon whilst tidying up, I spotted Bambi helping himself to my Spring Flowers!
