Finished Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding Hearts

- watercolor

- 9" x 12"

- Arches Cold-pressed paper

I finally finished the Bleeding Hearts painting.  

Every painting I do is such a huge learning curve

for me because I am self-taught.  I have a vision of 

what I want the painting to be but have to find my way

through each work.  My goal for this painting was 

to do a Botanical Illustration.

Today I worked on the underpainting of the branch,

stems and leaves.

This is watercolor on Arches 140 lb. Cold Pressed paper.

Valentine's Day inspired me again to try some Bleeding

Heart flowers.  I just love the delicate beauty of these flowers.

WIP: Poinsettia

I'm liking how the New Gamboge underpainting and

disappearing purple are looking after applying my

first wash of Alizarin Crimson to the big leaf.
