ORIGINAL CLOSE UP CONTEMPORARY FLORAL PAINTING BY COLLEEN SANCHEZ

PURPLE DAHLIA CLOSE UP 
An original contemporary close up floral painting
by Colleen Sanchez
7 x 10 Watercolor on Paper
This painting took quite a bit of time to complete, there are just so many petals. I started with a pale wash, reserving the whites and then did some wet into wet with mingling colors and followed up with some wet on dry. I enjoyed the challenge of mixing the lovely grays in some areas of the painting.
