Lily (No.1)
Watercolour on Paper 2004
18 x 10 ins
private collection
A Classical Style Flower Painting of a white Lily.
Flower Watercolour Painting Technique:
First the Lily Flower was drawn in detail onto a good quality
heavy Watercolour Paper. Then rubber-solution Masking
Fluid was applied carefully over the flower (using an old paint
brush) to protect it.
The background was painted with three or so layers
of Watercolour Washes using a medium size Paint Brush.
When the background had dried, the Masking Fluid was
peeled off in one piece and a fine sable brush was used
to fill in the Lily Flower details.
No white paint was used in this Painting. The lighter areas
are light reflected from the Watercolour Paper.
