April Magnolias

8x8 watercolor on Masters Premium 140 lb cold press paper done today after the sketch in pencil yesterday. So sad after our former neighbor cut her magnolia tree down since it was dead. These trees are not supposed to thrive in west Texas. Blooms were more pale pink in the photo so I've added fuchsia, permanent rose, transparent pyrrol orange, and Grumbacher red along with Orchid and quinacridone magenta by American Journey. Greens were a mix of quinacridone gold and ultramarine blue plus arylide yellow. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith
