Hibiscus Watercolor - SOLD

Hibiscus Watercolor
Watercolor on Arches Paper, 14" x 14"
SOLD at $12 plus $8 shipping.

This one is way different from my usual "look" in watercolors. The background, for one thing. (Normally I leave the paper.) And I learned a new technique, which I practiced on this one. It's a way to make veins, not by drawing lines, but by making paint move away from water, creating "lines" or edges. This one has a lot of presence, since 14" x 14" is fairly large, and there's a lot of color.

Okay, so today I decided to go ahead and do a fussy, complex piece in watercolor.
You've probably seen earlier versions of this one, if you've been with me for awhile, but it's always fresh for someone. Signed in the lower right hand corner.

Watercolor Landscape - SOLD

Watercolor Landscape
Watercolor on Arches Paper, 14" x 18"
SOLD at $20 plus $8 shipping.

Below are a couple of possible crops for this painting.
It needn't stay as large as it is.



It's been a long time since I've done anything with watercolor besides flowers, mostly pansies, irises, and sunflowers. I didn't feel like a big complicated floral today (tired after church) but did want to use this new block of Arches watercolor paper, a gift from a collector (thanks, KM!) So here's a landscape instead.
It's pretty simple, so I've given you a couple of cropping options, which you can figure out yourself.
