Proud Red Hollyhock

6x8 watercolor using White Nights paints on handmade paper 140 lb done yesterday. This was a demonstration for my Monday art class and took approximately 30-35 minutes. I've used one of my red hollyhock photos from studio garden. Here I used a direct painting method with various pinks, oranges, and reds. Finishing touch this morning was to add a thin glaze/wash of transparent pyrrol orange (Daniel Smith) over the bloom. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2024
