I am working on a watercolor of bougainvillea
that is a lovely reddish purple color. A friend gave me a bouquet of these blooms from her garden and I just sat down to rest a bit, grabbed a watercolor tablet and did a fast drawing. Then I started right in on the blooms. No planning. No thought process at all.....just doing!
Now I am wondering what in the world am I going to do with this? I always plan out my compositions and usually do the background first, even. So here I am...no rules, no plans. I am determined not to abandon this no matter what. So stay tuned. We will see what flows out of the brush!
Sometimes you just have to sieze the moment...
ReplyDeleteNow if it had been me, I'd probably have taken some photos immediately and then painted from the photos a bit later on. But then I'm not an artist!
