Lupine Fantasy

Lupine have always seemed rather like  common flowers to me and it's taken me years to truly appreciate them. They work beautifully in this piece standing tall against the colorful backdrop of oranges, reds and browns. There's iridescent paint on and around the flowers in this mixed watercolor and acrylic ink painting.

Flowers & Magic

I LOVE acrylic inks!!! They are so interesting to paint with and the colors dry brilliantly! The paper looks SO cool after an ink wash!!!! This ink beginning turned into hollyhocks. I used a variety of inks and then over painted with watercolor and more ink to bring out colors and details. The darks give the piece dimension. One thing about using watercolor over the original ink wash is the ink texture still shows through. I'm quite happy with this piece!
