Point Defiance White Flower
Artist

Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
This is a watercolor painting of another flower from the Point Defiance Dahlia and Rose Garden in Tacoma, Washington. I think it is a dahlia but I am not sure as there are many other types of flowers there as well. The original is 13.5"x10" in size and is painted with Rublev, Daniel Smith, and Winsor & Newton watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper.

@Chip - Thank you very much! Experimenting with the yellow really helped the dimensionality and once the shadow shading was glazed over the top, it really began to pop!
