My first experience with watercolor was in middle school. I liked the whimsical flow on paper when capturing landscapes and flowers. Though initially I thought it wasn’t as forgiving as Oil painting to apply changes. The subject of my painting today was a Fuchsia ‘wind chime’ shaped flower. Initially it looked like a combination of pink , purple and green. Though I started working on painting it quickly realized that it’s a combination of shades in between. The transition from pink to the deep purple requires adding in some darker’Prussian blue’ . The lighter pink was a mix with white , or just adding more water to the rose color. Sometimes I just left a white space to give it three dimensional feel.
