Violet flowers in watercolors



Violet flowers watercolor painting 11x16 inch done on 300gm2 Arches watercolor paper. I used the negative painting technique which consists of painting around an object instead of painting the object itself, in watercolors negative technique produce beautiful results. I like this technique as it gives a mystery to the painting, and let the objects blend in the painting nicely. checkout this interesting tutorial done by Catherine de ryck about negative painting, very nicely done.

Hi Doudy! Thanks for the link--you have mastered the technique, which I always find intellectually taxing! These paintings are lovely--beautiful colors and shapes.

Hi Laura,
thank you for visiting, it's always good to have you :)
although I find the technique rewarding, i think it lacks a bit of loose brush strokes, that's what i am going to explore next..
