Daffodils

Hello friends,
                   Here I am with today's post as part of my endeavour to do at least one post everyday this week. Today I'm sharing some daffodils from my sketchbook. This one is very special as it is my very first attempt at watercolours...

Cosmos

Hello friends..Its a beautiful spring day..sunshine, flowers, butterflies, bees...What better time to paint some colourful springy flowers? Here is a quick Cosmos that I painted (from a you tube tutorial video)..

The background turned out to be a bit splotchier than I intended, but it certainly is springy and colourful...
Cheerio...!

I have been working on a watercolour. Have finally finished it. Not that it was very complicated; I finished it in 5 sittings.
            The design is not my original, saw it on the net...it was free to download and print. But I drew it by hand as I don't have a printer and it was simple enough. Here I am showing different stages of the painting. I really enjoyed doing it...hope you enjoy looking at it -

This is the third session I think where I painted some of the leaves. Watercolours are very interesting to mix and play around with.

This is the next session where I painted some more leaves.

and this is the finished result with the background all done. Sorry for the quality of the picture. I do not have a good camera either. Lost mine on a holiday.

The shadow on the right lower corner is a jar I placed to hold the corner flat. Couldn't get rid of it.
