Colors and shapes of the calla lilies and their leaves have been waiting patiently as subject matter for a watercolor painting.
Not sure I like the composition, but I do like the colors! Suggestions?

Next on the drafting table..........those incredible black spider lilies.
Stay tuned!
This is quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou're right: the colors are glorious.
Joanne, you mentioned composition: It could be that your largest flower is in the middle of the page. Next time, plan the flowers so the larger one is just a bit off-center, and you might be happier. The two back leaves are almost the same height; allow one to dominate.
Usually, I try not to "teach" in my comments, but since you asked, my art teacher hat jumped onto my head. :-)
The main thing, of course, is that you're happy while painting these beauties.
Well done ~
Hi DJ,
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
I appreciate your comments, dear art teacher, and think you have addressed the composition faux pas.
Yes, it was fun to paint and has given me a boost to do more painting.
