It's been a while since I took time to paint some tulips. I do love the shape, the color blends and how the flower slowly opens to bloom. I have a number of new works planned for tulips and by next year hope to have a garden planted with lots of varieties of tulips to enjoy. This is a digital painting done with an electronic drawing tablet, a Wacom. It uses a wireless pen stylus that you tap and move across the tablet, not a computer mouse. I used Corel's art software, Painter X that allows you to choose the brush sizes, shapes, textures, mediums, colors, flow, etc. as you would make personal choices with the real mediums. This is not a photo manipulation or a result from an auto convert a photo to an artistic effect work. I had to draw and paint this. It takes me hours of work, just no clean up time. If you look at the close up you will see the brush strokes, it's not a photo. I hope you like this tulip beauty.
