HI, Look what I found,aren't they gorgeous!They were from Gran's yard. I asked my husband to look the other day and he said no I didn't see any flowers over there. It reminded me of the time I asked my son about the flowers at a wedding he was participating in. He said,"No Ma I didn't see any flowers.. there". I later asked a lady at church who had gone. She said," Oh Diana, You should have seen them. They had 2 fields planted of sunflowers on each side of the wedding.Flowers everywhere.It was glorious."But my boy didn't see them then, and neither did my husband the other day. ha ha.. It's what's important to each of us! ha, ha.
So I decided to put them in a mason jar and paint them. I've started anyway.They smell so good.-- I usually rearrange the flowers as I go to fit the composition. Do you do that or do you have it ready before hand? Talk to you soon.Diana
Is it spring already? I can't believe everything that is blooming!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, yes so typical of men, honestly if something doesn't just jump up in front of them the never see it..
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a good one..as for arranging before or during? if and when I do from life I have to have it just so before I start.. hugs ,, BJ
Diana, I love your blog and your art! I am a beginning watercolorist and have learned so much just by reading your blog and looking at your paintings!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Your pours appear to be well controlled. How do you control where the paint will go, such as in the daffadils you are working on? Can you describe your process in writing? Thank you!
HI Kathy, You get the blooms quicker than we do in Va.Beach, lucky you!! What have you got blooming? Hi BJ,I know funny but we love the dear men! hI Cynthia, so glad you come by,thank you. I don't really control the pouring. I do it before the sketching. I decide after I pour what it will be and figure what goes where. It looks so much better when it's random and inspired. Please come back. love to you all,Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana, for your explanation. I tried pouring. Yours definitely looks better than mine! I'll keep trying. LOL
