It was fun to do but it is time consuming, unless you want to break out a hairdryer to speed things up.

My take on negative painting effect in watercolour. Watercolours are growing on me.

[Casablanca]

@salza I like that, what a lovely blend of colours across the spectrum

[moni kozi]

@salza This is soooo very nice. I particularly like how you maintained a consistency of colours throughout. I mean that you did not overlap blue on red a.s.o. I think that is very clever and it creates a very beautiful effect. Well done!
I enjoy the fact that you grow to like watercolours :D

@salza FAV. This is really very lovely. I like the conciseness around the leaves and cannot figure out, to save my soul, how you did it

[Sally Ings]

@grammyn Katy, I was inspired by paintings done by Jacqueline and Monika. Jacqueline posted a link to a YouTube video which I watched. I then found a different video and adapted it to do my painting.
Here is the link to the video I loosely followed: https://youtu.be/Iynw_WaVdQs

@casablanca @monikozi @grammyn thank you. It looks more difficult/complicated than it is. I really enjoyed playing around with it

@salza Really great interpretation of the watercolor wash! Such pretty soft colors. The negative space gives this some really nice depth.

[Sally Ings]

@theredcamera @artsygang thanks

[Jacqueline]

@salza love the colours Sally, you had more patience than I did, I used the hairdryer ;)
You created a lovely pattern too!

@jacqbb thanks Jacqueline. At the moment I have time so it wasn't too bad allowing the paint to dry naturally.
