Watercolour - Negative painting exercise

It's not about the flowers; they are meant to be Nasturtiums and I didn't do too well with them. In the painting they are too large. In reality, the flower heads are a bit smaller than the leaves.

 

I simply wanted to add some bold colours to brighten things up a bit. Also, I felt I had enough leaves to deal with. Already after the first layer of paint for the negative painting stage, things became a bit confusing for me.

 

Apart from practicing negative painting, I also practiced turn-ups on the leaves; that's why all turn-ups look the same :)

 

Overall, it worked out quite well. I just need to practice more flower painting and, especially, be careful and patient with details.

Note:

Saunders Waterford Classic Watercolour paper, med. 300gsm, is resistant to feathering and is suitable for ink, printing and watercolour.

Very nice to paint on as long one doesn't do/need feathering.
