Water Lilies -- Watercolor


This is one I did previously.  The picture I was using for inspiration was from an art book, but the original was done in acrylics. I had to experiment a lot to figure out how to reproduce that picture in watercolor. There are lots of layers of color in the picture to try to reproduce it. Was a lot of fun and learning.

    You did a super job here Ramona! Changing from an acrylic to doing this in watercolor isn't as easy as it sounds. Really nice.

    The water reflections and the contrast, light and shadows are really good, a very nice watercolor.
