I've not been able to post much so far this month, thanks to pressure of real life (boo!). But I hope to put that right with a flurry of posts over the next few days! Here is a watercolour of a Nigella, a lovely blue flower with delicate leaves and attractive seedpods. I'm trying to work in a very loose style. This was done in five minutes or so.

Oh so pretty. Soft and beautiful and even dreamy. I love this. isn't it funny how sometimes our quick WC's look so wonderful. Must be because we don't overthink it-just do it.
ReplyDeleteWow Dave! I really love this! And 5 minutes -- I need one of those drop jaw smilies. I'd say your attempts at a loose style are paying off. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is very loose and light!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it was fun to do, wasn't it?
It looks like a greeting card -soft and dreamy!
ReplyDeleteVery loose. Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDave it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAre these also called 'Love in a mist'?
I thought you;d been a bit quiet! This is a very nice study.
ReplyDeleteFlurry away!
Thanks for the nice comments!
ReplyDeleteAnita yes it is also called love in a mist; lovely name, isn't it?
I love these...in real life as well as in your painting. You've really gave them a "misty" appearance and beautiful soft color!
