Fun Flowers in watercolor

Took the above picture at Chelsea Market during my trip to NYC!  Just looking at this makes me hopeful for an early beautiful spring.



Did some simple watercolor doodles in my moleskine one day….



Took that same page 6 months later and expanded on it.  Amazing that I really have to look for the original forms.



Got one of my fun stencils out…and wanted to do a hawaiian type of design inside the petals.



Then I put in a black and white background.  Fun illustration practice.  I’ll do something like this again.



No stencils here…just illustrated floral doodles.



Then the fun part…..coloring



Used a simple stencil to create the leaves, then colored in…I wanted to see how this inexpensive watercolor set holds up and if it looks vivid or watered out.  I think it held up rather well!
