| September Rose |
These are some of my favourite colours....magenta, cerulean and ultramarine blue .... I combined watercolour and pastel, scratching through the pastel in areas to add texture,this is a technique I use in a lot of my work and all mediums, ranging from acrylic to watercolour. Then I outlined some areas in pen and ink. The combination of watercolour and pastel gives a very intense colour which I like especially for flower painting.

| Daisy vase |
The Daisy Vase Piece uses the same scratch technique, drawing into the pastel to create the texture of the fabric. Daisies are fabulous flowers to paint as I love the way they are so structured. They have a strong simple form which works well when combined with still life elements.
The September rose is lovely and has that feeling of September, a wistfulness that the summer has gone.
ReplyDeleteBut the daisy really speaks to me. I love the abstract quality of the painting and its simplicity which add up to more than the sum of its parts.
