Out Of The Darkness

Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
I wanted to maintain a bit of a looser feel with this piece while experimenting with a very dark background. The background is a German Vine Black mixed with a Prussian blue and it creates a great backdrop to really up the contrast of the brightly lit petals of the flower. I used Rublev, Winsor & Newton, and Daniel Smith watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The original is 9.75"x13.75" in size.
