Orchid

Tags: , , , , ,
30x45cm (12"x18"), watercolor on Arches
 Orchid in bloom. I can not walk around it without looking admiringly at the perfect shape and color of the flower. So I paint it again.
Sketchbook, PITT pen and watercolor

EDM # 23 "Draw your foot". I do. Not the orchid for sure, too far from perfect. But the carpet is good. 100% wool.

    The orchid we define as beautiful, and the foot we don't. But each has its own use and its own beauty, and you represented them both very well!

    I liked the transparent petals with the veins and the color contrast has made it very attractive,as much as they are in real! The foot against a printed carpet was a great idea to execute!

    Absolutely perfect orchids!! I like the foot, too - it's fun to draw your parts as your model is pretty cheap and easy to entertain.
