Flowing curves

In my house beautiful orchids are in bloom and they are calling out to be painted! Their flowing curves are perfect for capturing with watercolours.

Subtle layers of pink are built up using watercolours. A large flat brush is used to create the curved lines.

After allowing some of the layers to dry details and darker tones are added using a smaller brush.
