This could not be more different to my last art project. I love all kinds of art and don't like to stick to one genre as I get bored easily.
I can't even remember the last time I used watercolour. Some time ago I bought some Daniel Smith watercolours and have hardly used them. So I dusted them off and hand painted this kind of whimsical impression of some buds and petals for this week's one layer challenge over at Less Is More.
I liked the idea of these delicate vines hanging from the sentiment (by Papertrey). Then it was just a case of adding the petals and buds in a variety of colours.
I used some very fine watercolour brushes from Ebay for the vines and chinese watercolour brushes for the petals.
The watercolour paper is just some I had in my stash and I don't know where I got it from.
I am rusty at watercolour painting but I quite like how it turned out. I think with a bit more practice I could improve on this.
Anyway, I hope you like it, thank you so much for stopping by, Eleanor xx
Beautiful Eleanor, your image is CAS perfection with the simplicity of the leaves and the soft colour against the white. So talented :)
