Spring Watercolor Fun!
What fun it was to splash, mix the paints and create a bright, colorful and Light drenched watercolor painting of these Spring Azaleas.
Our gardens when we lived in the Pacific Northwest, were always overflowing with azaleas and rhododendrons every new Spring!

Fresh Spring Watercolor Azaleas
My Creation Process
I painted on dry paper to start off with, changing later to just dampening the paper a little bit in some discreet areas.
Using the Rekab’s ultra mini fine point to draw and paint the flower shapes with my lovely cobalt teal. The leaves were painted next. Then I used the skewer, dipping it inside my Daniel Smith Indigo watercolor tube, and flicked in a couple of the stamens.
Final touches were an old toothbrush for some textural relief, splatter.
I needed to fine tune an area by dampened and adding a dash of color here and there; which then completed the Watercolor Spring Azaleas design.
