Hollyhock Garden by Sarah Bottjer

Has a really good warm feel to this painting. Great work.

I love hollyhocks.... These are great, soaring upwards into the sky.

Lovely hollyhocks, so tall and majestic!

Pete, Sylvia and Satu thank you for your nice comments. I wasn't too sure whether to post this one or not. A bit out of my comfort zone ...

very loose and lovely, the colour of the hollyhock is very pretty, i like it :-) what watercolour paints did you use?

Thanks Rebecca, I used W&N colours. The hollyhock is Permanent Rose and some Cobalt Violet added . I had a look for some Schminke at the weekend but couldn't see any. Think I will order them online :)

I don't know why you were hesitant about posting this lovely watercolour Sarah......you've got some super colours in your washes; the sky, the cottage roof and cable end and the Holllyhocks are exactly as they should be!

Thank you Fiona for commenting on my picture :)

Lovely washes and light, Sarah.

Thank you Seok for your comments :)
