Spring has Sprung


This is my post for the April Virtual Sketch Date. I did the back ground first around the blocked in areas for the flowers.
It is a watercolor on hot pressed paper. Thank you to Jeanette Jobson for providing the reference photo of a rhododendron bud from her garden.

Lovely painting, it's so full and rich. And the palette is scrumptious, all my fave colors.

Interesting idea flipping the image, love the purples and blues.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a generous comment on my blog and to have taken the time to view it enlarged.
