EARLY SPRING

I'm still on California time...and we would be seeing Crocus peeping through the ground soon there. Here in Michigan it will be a couple of months from now by the looks of things before it arrives...:)

I needed something that SCREAMED SPRING!!

 

This is done in Watercolor & Ink and Dr Martin's Bleed Proof white spattered at the finish of the painting.

I'll try to share a little technique.

First in pencil, I lightly drew the Crocus's and then ''threw and spattered dots of yellow and green paint all around them(no masking was done)....then I very carefully misted the spattered areas and let some paint run and flow on its own. I added more spattering and misting and color as needed.

Then I painted the crocus in several layers of blues and purples, using both the wet into wet and dry brush techniques. I painted the greenery using both techniques also.

I then used a Micron pen to add Ink and definition.

At the end I spattered with the Bleed Proof white and some Cad. yellow.
