This simple painting demonstrates how to paint a group of flowers growing in a round cluster of blossoms such as the mop-head hydrangea.
1. Starting with wet juicy paint on dry paper I painted the illusion of the cluster by painting the four petals of a flower shape sided by side in a group or cluster. Many of these shapes intermingled and overlaped. the shape next to it.
2. While it is still semi-wet to damp, splater or spritz or splash clear water into the painted petals. This creates the most wonderful water marks or "blooms". Now let it dry and let the watercolor do it's thing. |
