Tulips. 4 x 6 watercolor. © 2015 Sheila Delgado
A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. ~ Marianne Williamson
Work in Progress
- Beginning
- Too Dark!
- Ring around the collar, I mean clouds.
- Calling it done.
Just noticed the images are a bit rough, 72 ppi is why. This came together fairly quickly. I did have to go back and fix some mistakes. I have been working on watercolor paper that has a layer of gesso. Bad paintings making way for new ones. I like working on the gesso with watercolors. Gives you a bit of freedom to rework, almost erase paint you have laid down. That is a new discovery for me.
I am working with an inexpensive set of student pan watercolors, and I notice that they do not mix as easily as tube paint. I expected that, and part of it may be the gesso. Still, they are fun!!
