Let me share with you a glimpse into today's painting based on the beautiful reds, greens and pinks of autumn hydrangeas. Did you catch my post Beauty in decay? where I painted white hydrangeas?
Such beautiful colours in these petals.
I'm using watercolours to add a base layer of colour.
An old toothbrush and a lolly stick make the perfect tools for splattering paint!
The paint layer needs to dry before the 2nd stage of the process.
Follow me @opheliafu to find out what happens in the 2nd stage of this painting, and to see the finished piece!
god I just love this so much so beautiful so colourful - your work as always simply stunning!
Thank you @Krystle I will be posting the finished piece later, though im tempted to do a few more and leave them at this stage.
I think they look awesome I can't wait to see stage 2 :) no harm in keeping some at this level they are still so beautiful.
So beautiful, colorful and tender!!!
There is a softness to them, thank you!
Main photo looks like big colorful cake :)
Are you hungry?
As always :) sweet tooth greed for sweets :)
I love it!
:D Thank you!!
Beautiful!
What a great idea to use a toothbrush!
I love the colors too. When I got married, my bridal bouquet was predominantly blue hydrangea. I love them so much!
I will have to find a picture of mine, i uad green and white hydrangeas and my maid of honour had blue. I made them myself, and my table decorations were hydrangeas from my great aunts garden.
I can just imagine how beautiful they were! I would love to see you paint those bouquets!
