Daisy at Dusk

Torn Daisy

6x6 watercolor of single daisy that has its petals torn by the wind and other weather conditions. With this loose single floral done week before last I have focused on mixed greens and blues for the abstract background and used a #12 round synthetic brush. My daisies growing in New Mexico were used for inspiration. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Tattered Daisies

12x9 watercolor on Bristol Smooth 100 series done week before last, an endeavor to paint looser and faster. Using my daisy photos as inspirations I came up with these tattered petals that are painted wet on dry. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Window Daisies

6x6 watercolor on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done over this past weekend as part of another WetCanvas drawing event. With this furnished ref photo I've cropped the rest of the window and kitchen out to focus more on the vase of fresh daisies. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

DAISY RAIN

Shining Shasta Daisies

8.25x4.25 watercolor on Daler Rowney 140 lb cold press paper, a loose daisy painting using only a 3 value study made with a black Tombow brush pen. Using a black and white photo of the daisies in my yard I marked with black only the darkest darks, followed by mid-tones then lights or the white of the paper. I used a #12 round brush on dry paper and did splatters at the end when dry. No pencil drawing, only negative painting. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Fresh as a Daisy

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb hot press Strathmore Gemini paper done today in under two hours.  I was in the mood to paint a morning still life so concocted a country kitchen scene complete with coffee cup, book, and pitcher of fresh daisies.
