Lavender Purple Parrot Tulip redo

Here is a redo of most of the tulip posted last week and hope it reads better with more dark values added plus a widened stem and orange splatters.  Only minimal cerulean blue to background was glazed over by the stem area.  (15X22 watercolor on Saunders 300 lb CP)

Tiptoe thru the Tulips

14x8 watercolor on Fluid 140 lb cold press paper done a few days ago for an online WetCanvas challenge. Participants are given 10 images and are to select one to draw then paint in 2 hours. I cropped the ref photo courtesy Christine and added my own pink colors and leaves rendering the garden loosely.

Flaming Parrot Tulip

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb Saunders cold press paper, a wet in wet approach to this lovely frilly open tulip.  With florals I like to explore all angles and take unusual viewpoints when setting up the composition.
