Summer colours
With the rain drumming on the windows I needed a splash of summertime colour to brighten up my drawing desk. I threw on my raincoat and wellington boots and went outside to pick some of the small but colourful flowers in my garden. A fragrant sweet pea had survived the rain, I arranged this with some yellow curry plant flowers, lavender flowers, green poppy seed heads and various other herbs and flowers.

I made a simple display by arranging them in a glass drinks bottle. The perfect subject matter for a little watercolour painting!

I love the colour combination of the yellow flowers of the curry plant against the pinks of the sweet peas, the yellows really pop!

Lovely! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent @opheliafu I have tried oil painting before but never watercolors. I think I have been inspired.
Awesome! Keep it simple to start- build up layers of colour.
