FIVE BUDS
I painted these Iris buds as an experiment.
I used Matte medium first...let it dry, and then did the buds in mostly one stroke on the dry paper...I added touches of water, but very little...I did the stems in quick strokes of yellow and blue.
I was tempted to define it more with pen and ink, but decided to leave it loose...:)
No pre drawing.
About Me
- Louise
- GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, United States
- An avid lover of nature, I studied many areas of flora and fauna, particularly trees and plants(flowers)....Dendrology and Botany. As a child I spent many hours hiking in the hills of our ranch and the forests of the area, along with exploring the meadows, rivers, creeks and lakes of the area. I have been drawing and painting since childhood and minored in art in college.I have taken classes and workshops through the years. Recently I have taken Online classes from Cathy Johnson. Since retirement I have dedicated myself to painting and drawing...mostly in my favorite mediums, watercolor and pen & ink. Some of my work has been featured in books and brochures and also used as Mixed Media examples in school classrooms. I have recently begun selling my paintings, after years of gifting my art to family and friends. Currently I am selling some of my work on Ebay, ...(periodically). I am very active on Flickr and some of my art can be seen there at: www.flickr.com/photos/27259847@N00 © Louise Christian, All rights reserved.
