"IRIS" flower_aquarelle on paper

in #art9 years ago (edited)

One of the best flower for practicing in watercolours is Iris. Irises come in many colors, sizes, shapes and forms. This indigo iris is so spectacular but I can say that for me the most mysterious and beautiful is the wild yellow iris you can see in the Danube delta in my country. Maybe I will find a picture in my archive phone someday to show you. 😊

details of the finished drawing

Irises are amazing because of their symbolism too, they have been used from ancient Egypt for decorations and rituals and medical virtues.

I tried here a drawing not very transparent, but more detailed.
I took a picture of this flower in a beautiful garden and I used as a reference for my painting.

Take a look to the steps of my drawing!

Wow you are very talented. Learning by doing or school? Greetings from Mongolia, Silbart.

Thank you very much! I think both of them. ;) And Greetings back from Romania! As far as I know, Mongolia is a fantastic country.

Yes it is. Romania is still on my to do list. Good luck and lots of up votes here ! I will follow your art now ;)

Sublime, especially the intricate petal patterns. That takes a good amount of control to pull off.

Thank you very much! ;-)

Awesome! I absolutely love the color combinations well done :)

Thank you very much for your comment! ;)

There was a plan before to create a place for Steemian artists to compile all artworks..dunno if that have materialised.

I think I never heard about it!

Do you know @reddust @opheliafu
It might just be reddust who mentioned it before, i will need to check this out. It's mostly paintings.

Of course, I know both of these talented ladies!

Haha cool.. sorry. Perhaps ask reddust? This was ages ago and am not an artist. I follow you guys but i can't paint nor draw. Well, i hope it materialised because there were so many artworks being posted.
