Sherbet Lilies

15x22 transparent watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press, a demo done today for Snyder, TX Palette Club, located at their airport. They had requested a floral, and I was only too happy to oblige with this sherbet-hued daylily composition.  It was painted wet in wet with 1.5" brush for the most part, beginning with darks first, then midtones, then lights last.  Daniel Smith/American Journey paints were used.
