The Roseby =NoraBlansett

Traditional Art / Paintings / Still Life

4" x 6", Watercolour, Ink, Colour Pencil accents.

This image was inspired by and referenced from: [link] It is NOT identical and the ladybug was my own addition.

I almost threw this away. I got "experimental" and thought I'd ruined it. I decided to just go with it and see what happens. I'm "satisfied" with it. I haven't painted a rose like this ever -- so...

I decided to paint the ladybug in flight. There are always pieces of ladybugs chillin' on petals, so I went for ladybug in action.

Let me know what you think... Should I have tossed it?

My favorite flower is a rose! I think you did a great job and the way the colors of the petals lightly bleed into the white is wonderful!

Thank you so much!

Watercolour is (in my opinion) a darn hard medium. You have handled it well!

Thank you so very much -- and admittedly, it IS a difficult medium. Very, very unforgiving. I gave it a shot because I saw some paintings my own mother once did, and they were amazing. I never forgot how much I loved the effects watercolour can have.
