My Agapanthus are blooming right now, and this sweet bud just opening inspired me to try to paint it.
Painted on Arches Hot Press 140lb watercolor paper, with Sennelier paints.
I used, Naples Yellow, Indian Yellow, Cobalt Violet Deep, Ultramarine Deep, Forest Green, Emerald Green, Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna, and Ivory Black.
I received a gift card to Amazon for my birthday last month so, I splurged on a Di Vinci Artissmo brush #1 rd. I used it, along with an Escoda Reserva #2, and a Robert Simmons Sapphire 10/0 brushes.
WOW, does the Artissmo brush hold water! I’m having to learn to paint all over again with this brush.
I’m really happy with how this little bud came out. I’m feeling brave enough to try the whole pom pom blossom. To be continued. 🙂
Charlie O’ Shield’s over at doodlewash has invited artist, and dabblers in paint to tag their nature paintings, or watercolor work in the month of June to share our work using the tag
#naturedoodlewash. He’ll compile a list of all those who participated at the end of the month.
