Daffodils for Cris

Watercolor, appr. 11 x 17 This was done for my friend Cris, who was trying to learn some simple brush techniques to use for her watercolors. It was to show her how using only 1 brush, and allowing the colors to thoroughly dry between layers, could render nice transparent effects. The subject wasn't planned, it just came out that way..but I liked the brightness of color, and thought I would shre with you!

Can't believe this took only 20 minutes... it's so beautifully crafted.

Artist Reply: ah..maybe a few more than 20..I just kept showing her how to load the brush and swipe the paint on!! so I just kept working without really paying attention, and hoped she learned!!Thanks for stopping in to say hi! come back anytime! BLESSINGS, Marge
