Fun Pansies

5x3 watercolor miniature floral done over the past weekend in a direct painting style meaning no pencil sketch first nor any reference, just brush only in this colorful tiny garden scene.

Pansy Face

14x11 watercolor floral, a macro view of a small yellow and purple pansy.  With its dark almost black center, its smiling cheery face says it is time to plant me in your garden pots.  Negative painting done on leaves and background after doing an overall light value underpainting.

Purple Yellow Pansies

11x15 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press pape begun yesterday and completed today.  Years ago I used this same photo and painted a much smaller version which quickly went into someone's home.  Also had prints made and only one is left, so I used that to draw the pansies again but in this larger format.  The background was done with light washes of Prussian blue and thalo green yesterday and today a dark wash mix of alizarin crimson with the other two colors overlaid that.
