Navy Blue Dragonfly

9x12 watermedia winged insect dragonfly on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done day before yesterday. I used both watercolor and Brusho crystals in two different blues, a yellow, and a green. Brusho crystals are very intense when wet and applied with a brush as in this imaginary scene. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Blue Dragonfly

6.25 x 8.75 watercolor on Italia Magnani 140 lb. cold press paper finished yesterday, another winged insect in this series of dragonflies. I've included minimal objects such as the twig/branch to focus more on the lovely colored flyer. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

August Dragonfly

6x12 watercolor of a contemporary winged insect, the lovely dragonfly, done with a #1 rigger/script liner brush on 140 lb Strathmore cold press paper, wet on dry, a few days ago. I will be painted this subject again. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Orange Dragonfly

8x8 watercolor of a lone orange dragonfly as it lights on a flower stem. Wildlife is always exciting to paint and explore the world they inhabit. This is another ongoing insect in my dragonfly series so stay tuned. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Dragonfly Day

9x6 watercolor and Brusho wc crystals on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper just completed a few days ago from one of my backyard dragonfly photos.  Wings are more colorful than real life due to the Brusho.  Splattering with a large round brush was added when dry.  This flying insect is the challenge subject for today on All Animals Watercolor Facebook page.
