I searched through my flower stamps and just couldn’t find the idea I had in my head for Judy’s Freshly Made Sketches #405 using the Color Throwdown #563 palette of Orange, Lavender, Purple, and Green.
So I got the Daniel Smith watercolour tubes and I courageously created this hand drawn card on Fabriano 140lb cotton paper. I painted clear water to the shape of each petal and deposited the lavender and purple pigments. The green leaves were done in the same manner. Then I added the orange stamens with a fine brush and I was delighted to see this the end result. Hope you give this a try.
Thanks for stopping by, HUGz, Joanna
I’m just in awe! This is truly spectacular! So glad to see you this week at FMS!

WOW does not cover the talent you have or the beauty of this card. ! Never saw hand painting so beautiful. It’s a wonder you can buy stamps if you can watercolor a free hand image so perfectly! This is just fabulous!
