Pots with Flag


I'm done with this one. White flowers were quick to paint. I just painted around them. I like painting bricks. Little shadow here and there creates 3 dimensional view. Blue flowers look great on yellow. Every color goes well with yellow. The most stressful was the flag. I'm glad that I decided to make it shiny because you cannot see how the stars are crooked.
Now I have to scan it. It will be painful because this painting is 13x19in and my scanner has 12in in its widest point. I wonder if 4 scans will be enough. Will see…
 

My camera changed colors to more yellowish down there. 
Painting is fun.

I transferred my drawings to the watercolor paper. I used watercolor pencils; they don’t smudge as much as regular pencils. Then I used masking fluid to cover edges of my flowers and I painted the background. Background is always unpredictable. This time it surprised me nicely.

I'm pretty happy with this drawing. I’ll be painting it with watercolors. My son said that the flag is not right but for me it is good enough. Sorry kids, you can’t learn how our flag looks like from my drawings
