Rue Anemone

88th day of 2019.

I preferred this shade and blend of white.

Moonflower

87th day of 2019.

Challenging more white florals.

Plummy Poppy

73rd day of 2019.

A bit failed on the shadow part.

Poppy - strokes

72nd day of 2019.

Back to using strong colors again.

White Wakerobin

71st day of 2019.

Using more glazing layers to add depth into the painting.

Wakerobin Wet

70th day of 2019.

Attempting a more abstract wet in wet approach as base colour.

Dayflower

69th day of 2019.

Quite satisfied with the experimentation with brush strokes and how the color turns out. However, need to improve on painting transparent things.

Dayflower 2

68th day of 2019.

Choosing background color against the main blue color of the flower. More details paint for the stamens and pistil...

Dayflower 1

67th day of 2019.

This time, I use the pigment straight from the wet paint, using brush stroke technique blended with different shades. After that, dropping in some water to blend certain spots.

Callas

66th day of 2019.

The 200gm paper weight definitely could not handle the heavy wet on wet background. 

Calla - Shadow

65th day of 2019.

I messed up on the stamen, should be more patient.

Calla - Colours

64th day of 2019.

Experimenting with colors.

Calla - Composition

63rd day of 2019.

Sorted out some more unused watercolor paper, going on a watercolor spree.

Acorns

62nd day of 2019.

Striped pattern looked very clean.

Acorn 4

61st day of 2019.

Testing variety of salt texture and layering the grains.

Acorn 3

60th day of 2019.

I am pretty surprised at how sharp and versatile the angle brush is. <3
A bit disappointed with not being brave in texturing the first few layers.

Acorn 2

59th day of 2019.

Now using angled brush, hoping to stain it as dark as how the flat and round been through from the previous painting. Indigo is very staining. :/

Acorn 1

58th day of 2019.

Laying down basic colour.

Fine Salt Experiment

57th day of 2019.

Using the same formula to test much smaller salt grain.

Coarse Salt Experiment

56th day of 2019.

Upon trying out salt in previous watercolor painting, decided to make a simple chart for better reference.

Moisture tend to be wet around the salt grain, took much much longer to dry.
