Bitterroot Bloom

11x15 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press block completed yesterday. These unusual flowers only grow in the Bitterroot Mountains in Montana. An underpainting using permanent rose and cerulean was applied first with a 1" flat brush then the painting was developed within the pencil sketch. I had manipulated and edited the photo colors to be more intense before beginning. This work is SOLD. Photo ref courtesy Rick Jackson. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith
