Poinsettia Pot

4x5.75 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, a quick sketch done last weekend of a few poinsettias in a pot. I used very wet paint then blew on a straw to make bursting lines outward from the leaves. There are three colors in this imaginary pot of Christmas plants. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Brusho Poinsettias

12x9 Brusho watercolor crystals on Bristol board 300 series/100 lb. completed today.  I am still learning how to use the crystals and this time after doing a colored pencil sketch in red and green and sprinkling them, I put several hues into a flat palette and added water.  This made a stronger solid color.  Look closely and you can see some of the crystals spots.  I used 4 or 5 different reds plus Vermilion; it is SOLD.
