“Painting Birthday Flowers #4- Lilies”/ 2020

Posted on by

Beautiful Lilies – These two Lilies were buds when I received a vase of flowers from my son and girlfriend for my birthday and it was so nice to see these pop open, they are such a beautiful color. I decided to paint a close up of them. I’ve been capturing photographs of the beautiful color of trees on our walk and although Lilies are not a Fall flower, these colored Lilies reminded me of Fall.

With the leaves, flowers, and background painted I can now use my rubber cement eraser (to the right of my painting) and take the masking fluid off in the center, then paint that to complete my painting. Masking fluid saved those areas I needed to paint a different color, a technique I think is so helpful painting in Watercolor.

Happy Creating,
