Garden Club Tulip

9x5 acryics on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, done last weekend for a WetCanvas.com challenge of using your nondominant hand, a toothbrush, and a palette knife (with acrylics), any subject. I chose a red tulip but quickly made it a variegated white and red one with the toothbrush. Palette knife used mostly to smooth the mixed green colors. Not too bad but it helps to be ambidextrous as well. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Red Velvet Tulips

22x30 watercolor of close view or macro red tulips; some had light yellow green variegated petals. This is painted on 140 lb cold press Saunders Waterford paper wet in wet using 2" wide brush and lots of Daniel Smith reds. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Redfire Tulip

11x15 watercolor on Dick Blick 140 lb hot press paper done over the past 3 days, as part of the weekend drawing event on WetCanvas (hosted by Li Newton).  This brilliant orange red tulip was aflame and there was gravel on the right side which I left the white of the paper.
