28x20 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper completed yesterday. These black hollyhocks grew along the classroom side of my studio along with pink, red, and white ones. Many colors went into the deep purple almost black hue: Quinacridones violet and magenta, permanent rose, alizarin crimson, carbazole violet, indigo, UB, thalo green and blue, etc. Since the blooms were transparent for the most part I used opaques for the background: Periwinkle, Mint Julep, and Peachy Keen (American Journey).
