Basket Bouquet

15x22 watercolor, work in progress finished with the addition of muted background garden shapes and colors of various foliage/flowers.  Now the white basket is framed by middle values and shows up more distinctly than against white paper.
I want to step over the bouquet, pick it up, and take it into the house to display the fresh blooms in a nice vase.

Basket Bouquet - Work in Progress

A work in progress (WIP) begun today using no photo, only drawing flowers from silk ones I have in the studio.  Size is 15x22 and this is watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper.  After painting so many autumn and winter scenes my eyes were yearning for a colorful floral.  I will add a background garden design and the basket will be sitting on green grass.  So far I drew calla lilies, roses, and tulips.
