Lilies again in water color

I made another picture of lilies  in a more brighter color and with the strong background washes.The color of this one is different from the subtle pink  lily I posted last time.The color  of the petals is not exactly orginal  but there sure is a possibility that this color variety is available. The shape and color of the buds blend with the background washes . 

Paeonies in water color

Here is my first attempt on painting the Paeonies in water color.I choose a very dark colored variety but there are many light shades also which are very beautiful. The center stamens  in deep yellow is in a very good contrast to the petals.Even the petals can come in different shapes and some flowers also resemble roses.
Hope to do some more  of these flowers in light shades and giving a transparent look which I could not achieve here.

Limoniums florets in watercolor



Limonium sinuatums or statice are  grown for cut flower production . The flowers come in yellows, pinks ,violets ,blues and whites.Flowers are really clusters of small flowers.
The pink color for the flowers in the painting express very well with the green  of the leaves. Pink and green light washes were given in the background.

Sunflowers in water colour

Sunflowers is always a subject for paintings and I wanted to paint it for sometime now .Last week I have done this one with water colours  on a handmade paper. The  paper used for this painting is more rough and the effect is different from the  other paintings I have done in water colour.For the flower I have used the colours permanent yellow , yellow ochre and burnt sienna  .
Sunflowers or Helianthus  have other colours than yellow and some of these are used as ornamental plants.

Orchids in watercolor


Orchids  in watercolors

Cattelya orchids in flower in a painted decorative pot. Orchid flowers are my favourite for painting as there is such a varied list of plants to choose them. The second painting here is the vandas.

Apple Blossoms in water color



 Each time when you paint a picture its a new creation. No painting can be the copy of another. This picture I have painted twice. Its  so encouraging to see the improvements that has been made, but cannot say which is better than the other. Apple blossoms seems to be a popular subject for paintings. I have never seen one myself and this is  from a picture in an art instruction book. Varying the shades of green  was my favourite part in this painting .Outline was highlighted with black ink.

Tulips in bloom



Tulips are great flowers to paint either in group or as single flowers.They have wide choice for colors too.I enjoyed doing this one as I could use different colors and the each shade enhanced the shape of the flowers.
