| WHITE GINGERS ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY WATERCOLOR PAINTING 30 X 22 CONTACT EMAIL FOR INFORMATION |
I finally finished this full sheet watercolor painting. I had to put it aside for several days and then come back to it to complete it. I don't know why, but I always seem to set myself some very difficult challenges and this really was one. I knew white flowers are very difficult to paint, I've done a few now, but I also wanted this one to be a little more subtle than my usual floral painting. I had lots of struggles and had to stop often so I wasn't temped to tear it up at one of the ugly stages. I think my personality type is such that I learn more with the most difficult work. And crazy me, the next couple of large paintings I have planned will be even more of a challenge - they'll be attempts at figurative works. Stay tuned.
Colleen, your white ginger really has a soft glow to it. I really think you succeeded - it's magnificent!
ReplyDeleteI think I go through the "I'm going to tear this up" stage with every painting.
Thanks so much, you always leave good comments for me.
DeleteI really love this one, which conveys the soft lighting and translucency of the petals very vividly. I think it is the struggle and willingness to go through it, willingness to experiment and fail that sets a good artist apart from someone who eventually stops growing. I admire you for doing this, and hope I will be able to do it myself.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your figurative attempts!
Thanks Arena,
DeleteThis one really was challenging, but I learned a few things. Hoping to start one of my figurative sketches tomorrow.
awesome! It's true haven't seen you put much painting up here in a while, but really
