White Tulips

Comments

Tremendously atmospheric and moody painting, Liezel. The tulips encourage the viewer to stop and look. The background plays no small part in this delightful illusion. Bri

Such a beautiful painting which draws your eye around these lovely white tulips. The dark background really sets them off.

When is white not white... certainly when painting a whole bunch of white tulips in a green field. I kept the palette limited for this watercolour, starting with very diluted green greys to add depth and form to the flowers. Layering stronger tones over the initial layers helped them slowly emerge out of the leafy undergrowth.
