Don't wait.........!


Don't wait until Valentines Day to tell someone special what they mean to you :-).

But if you do want to produce something special for the day, watercolour is an expressive medium to be creative this Valentines day!


These 3 roses have been painted, each using a different technique.

Artistically speaking, as we head towards Spring, we sometimes rush to pick up yellows to capture daffodils and primroses - these little splashes of warm red tones after these cold winter months, is very welcome!


So don't hesitate, grab your brush and have a splash with red - something special for someone special!

    What a wonderful loosely painted rose. I love it. And it's so exciting to paint with red. Hm now there's a thought!

      Thanks Sharon :-) I sometimes find that the red can dry a slightly duller colour when it dries - strange, must try some different shades! Lovely to have a splash of colour though!

    Lovely examples Kaye.... I struggle to find a "good" red, am looking for a really bright warm orange red, I do like a mix of alizarin crimson and burn sienna but that isn't quite right, a lot don't have the vibrancy I'm looking for, but like you will try some different shades and mixes... will know it as soon as I see it!!

    Hugs.

    Absolutely beautiful Kaye, lively and vibrant. All of them are gorgeous, but my favourite, I think, is the bud. I have a few shades of red that don't get much use so I must have a go myself.
    Thanks for putting these on you blog.
    Susan
