12x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper using my ink sketch done first . Using no photo reference I quickly laid in a background wash of primaries
arylide yellow, ultramarine blue, and permanent rose. When dry, I used
dry brush technique to put in flowers (parrot tulips mostly) and do
details on this blue bike. Its shadows were very important so that area
painted with a mix of alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue. The blue
bike's color is cobalt.
