Day 12 Fling Flowers


Fling Flowers (watercolor, 5" x 7") is one of my favorite, quick, easy things to paint. Evelyn Wright taught me this technique where you fling clean water on the paper, add strong pigment to the water, put in a soft background, and finish the flowers with a few greens.

I took my first watercolor class when I was about ten years old and one of the first paintings I recall was of red mums that look a lot like this picture. It makes me smile.
