Florists Lilies Original Watercolor

22x15 watercolor original, first posted on this blog November 22, 2011, an image I did not watermark.  Compare to the Target cushion described and pictured in my earlier post today.  The lower 1/4 which contains my signature was conveniently cropped to not show.

Let There be Lilies

Finished the lilies! Each rectangle is rendered in its own color combinations with none repeated and lots of mixed pigments.  A primary palette of red, blue, and yellow is emphasized in this cubist division of form and shape.  I hope it delights your senses and tickles your fancy as this is no ordinary lily watercolor! Size is 15x22 inches.

Let There be Lilies WIP

I've drawn and sectioned several tiger and daylily plants; each section will have its own background.  In this view of the 15x22 format, what you see are the almost completed flowers, buds, stalks, and leaves.  The very dark blood red lily grows in my front flowerbed and other colors are from my lily library.  I've used Daniel Smith, DaVinci, and American Journey watercolors.  I will post this work in progress with its multi background colored so you can see the difference a little color makes!  Paper is Italia Acquerello 140 lb soft press.
