I participated in Carolina Russo’s Watercolor Painting Challenge. She provided a photo of the Plumeria Flowers taken in her garden. The participants used the photo to do watercolor painting applying any techniques they chose. I leaned the negative painting techniques and was eager to use them for this challenge.
My painting was featured on her blog. The challenge has ended but you still can see paintings from other participants.
Carolina has a new design for her blog and has a New Design Launch Party drawing of a surprise gift for visitors. Here is the link to her new Blog.
What fun to see Miriam!! I know you’ve taken the Ollie painting class, right?? It shows! (and– saw you tonight at a distance at Cedar Creek– you were walking to the car!! See you tomorrow at Sharon’s!)
Thank you, Lynn. The background turned out to be that way. I had something else in mind when I started, but running out of time to meet the deadline. Thank you for liking it. ❤
Thank you, most of the painting was the background, that’s the negative painting – paint what is not the flowers and show the flowers by little touch. Have a wonderful weekend.
Great work ! 🙂
