Tulips in Brass Vase
5" x 7"
Watercolor
With this 20 minute challenge I was trying to looking at the larger shapes, especially the darks,then soften edges to achieve a bit of gradation in value along the shadow edge. Another area I wanted to practice was to leave white space, especially until the color dried. My plan was to then glaze in a lighter value to give the flowers more form. I ran out of time so didn't accomplish that.

I really enjoy looking at your paintings--all of them.
You accomplished a lot in just 20 minutes! I love this one :) It's one of those paintings that look "simple" until you try it!
I like your lovely loose paintings!
HW, thank you. That is very encouraging. :)
Rhonda, the vase was the more difficult part for me trying to get the variation in color and some shadows in for form.
Tonya, thank you so much. )
