Bearded Iris

Comments

I absolutely love this Carol, such beautiful detail. Perfection! My preferred choice to paint are flowers and I find I tend to build up the colour too, although taking longer to do, its worth it in the end.

I tried using Arches hot pressed paper for this painting. I found it worked better for me to paint by layering up the paint rather than using the wet in wet technique. The paper responded well. I also used Sennelier artist quality paints.
