Played around with watercolours using mostly damp on damp and wet on dry techniques. I'm still struggling with the wet on wet technique.
All critique welcome.

A quick project in watercolour.

@salza Critique what? These are perfect. Congratulations!
I intended to paint something today, and ended up in the garden pulling weeds.

These are really lovely and delicate. I'd like to try and get the paints out again this week.

Just spotted your delicate painting! This looks like such an interesting and creative group! Fav and following!

[Jean]

This is beautifully done! It does not look like you are struggling with anything.

[JackieR]

love the transluscence you have achieved here Sally (still left handed @salza ??) the delicacy of the foliage and stems and the realism. This is beautiful, how long did it take to do??

@pamknowler thanks for the follow, we're a group of photoggers who inspire each other to become arters.

@salza I love the simplicity of your painting and the magnificent detail especially in the petals. You’ve done a superb job with the shading and gradiation.

I was wondering the same thing that@30pics4jackiesdiamond asked about which hand you are using.

[moni kozi]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @grammyn
She's using her artist hand :)

[katy]

@monikozi She definitely is, no matter which one it is!

[Sally Ings]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @grammyn I am using my right hand. I have pretty much full use. Still building up my strength, can say without doubt that the operation was a success.
Jackie, I would hazard that this took me between 2 and 3 hours to complete

@artsygang - for the time being, I am not event considering pulling the paints out. We've been experiencing extremely high temperatures for a long while now and I barely survive. Also, some gardening came in the way (that does not take into account the high temperatures). So I will postpone painting. I might give it a try in pencil, because that I can do and sporadically still do it.
