Last weekend we were walking near our home and the Japanese cherry (Prunus serrulata) trees that are growing on the side of the streets were having an abundance of blossoms. My husband offered to hold one branch for me so I could make a reference picture for a painting (there was a lot of wind and holding the branch still for the picture really helped).
For this painting I selected a rose colour that is perfect for flower paintings and because of that I rarely use it. With the help of some other colours I tried to make a loose painting of the blossoms and leaves that were in the reference picture.
The technique of flower painting is one I need to practise a bit more but I really like the result I got with this painting.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this watercolour painting and my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
Contact me if you are interested in my original artwork.
