Lilies
A wash of colour
Today's drawing is of lilies, you may have see my recent post Pink Lily, an ink and watercolour sketch in which I drew a single lily flower.
For this piece I wanted to experiment with the background colours. I started by applying water to the paper, getting the paper quite wet. I then applied watercolours, allowing the watercolours to bleed into each other across the wet paper.
Once the watercolours were dry I applied black drawing ink with a dip pen to suggest the lines of the petals and leaves. I kept the style quite loose, allowing a simple flow to the lines through the direction and pressure of the pen.
'Lilies' -2017
Have a great day!
Lilies! Very beautiful-- so "fresh" looking! If those are the "stargazers" I expect you also had a lovely scent experience while painting... lovely piece of work.
I think they may be stargazers, and yes a wonderful scent.
The work of this lily is also wonderful.Thank you for a great post every time:)
A pleasure @yoshiko, your lilies in glass are beautiful too!

Very nice)) I would like this picture)))) You have golden hands)))
Slightly pollen yellow hands today! I cut the pollen out from my lilies so they wouldn't stain the table- just stained me instead!
Oh no. Forgive))) In Ukraine, they say "golden hands" when a person is talented)))) This is the term))) You have talent)))
Oh i got that meaning, it was very kind thank you
I love watercolor. It is so fresh :) Do you have to mix the color to match the real life flower? I was also surprised that ink is applied after water color, for some reason i was always thinking that first you draw and then fill in with the colors :) P.S. Just just have noticed that last two letters of you initials give a second thought. Tell men it's not what i am thinking. As it might be just extremely hot weather and little sleep :) Cheers!
Yes I mix the colours, but i deliberately kept the green of the leaves lighter, in reality it is darker but that colour combination did work for this piece. I often draw with inks then add the watercolour, but today i wanted to experiment a bit.
Not sure what you mean about by name!
Wow amazing artwork @opheliafu
Appreciates your your and effort
Keep on steeming

Very beautiful and light. Like the different approach to add the lines in the second step!
I thought I'd do things a different way today :D
excellent idea :-) Love it!!
