A wash of colour
Today's drawing is of lilies, you may have see my recent post Pink Lily, an ink and watercolour sketch in which I drew a single lily flower.
For this piece I wanted to experiment with the background colours. I started by applying water to the paper, getting the paper quite wet. I then applied watercolours, allowing the watercolours to bleed into each other across the wet paper.
Once the watercolours were dry I applied black drawing ink with a dip pen to suggest the lines of the petals and leaves. I kept the style quite loose, allowing a simple flow to the lines through the direction and pressure of the pen.
'Lilies' -2017
Have a great day!
Lilies! Very beautiful-- so "fresh" looking! If those are the "stargazers" I expect you also had a lovely scent experience while painting... lovely piece of work.

I think they may be stargazers, and yes a wonderful scent.

Slightly pollen yellow hands today! I cut the pollen out from my lilies so they wouldn't stain the table- just stained me instead!

I love watercolor. It is so fresh :) Do you have to mix the color to match the real life flower? I was also surprised that ink is applied after water color, for some reason i was always thinking that first you draw and then fill in with the colors :) P.S. Just just have noticed that last two letters of you initials give a second thought. Tell men it's not what i am thinking. As it might be just extremely hot weather and little sleep :) Cheers!

Yes I mix the colours, but i deliberately kept the green of the leaves lighter, in reality it is darker but that colour combination did work for this piece. I often draw with inks then add the watercolour, but today i wanted to experiment a bit.
Not sure what you mean about by name!

Lilies and irises are two of my most favorite flowers. i have one bed of them intermixed.
The lilies you've painted are gorgeous and look a little like one of mine, but with much better pink colors.
I'd love to know what variety it is!
Have you considered doing a small print run of prints and notecards?

I think they are pink stargazers- but that is a guess! They look beautiful in the garden, i need to grow some again.

That's a technique I'm trying to master all the time, but seems like I fear too much to blend the colors with no control of a line art at all:) So I usually start with inking, and then add watercolor. But I really love how you do it, it keeps the drawing really light (I know? i say it in every comment, but that's what really amazes me in your art!:)

I love lillies @opheliafu and we especially love waterlilies here in Friesland. There is a waterlily called the Pompeblêd and it's a part of the Frisian flag.
