"Majestic Magnolias"
W/C on Arches 300#
11 x 11 image, 16x16 mat
$295
Don't you just love these large, dramatic flowers whose creamy purity is in such great contrast to the deep green, shiny confidence of it's sturdy, thick and sharply pointy leaves?
And how about the backs of those leaves?.....another contrast...a coppery fuzz!
There is a genteel Southern charm to the entire combination.
I had to climb a ladder to get this photo reference, otherwise I would have been looking underneath the flower rather than into it.
In painting strong shine and deep shadows the 300# Arches paper was ideal to allow plenty of mingling of watercolor paint & some scrubbing to bring out the highlights in the leaves.
Hope you enjoy it - let me know what you think!
Hugs - Gillian
