Watercolor Iris study

The beautiful golden Iris in my garden are in full bloom, unfortunately the heavy rains of yesterday flattened most of them in my garden.  The blooms are so enormous its not a surprise.  All the more reason to paint them since they had to be cut.  Here is one in all its glory, it is also the subject for the makeup painting class this morning.

Watercolor Iris

Strawberries 7.5 x 7.5

I couldn't let those lilacs go a spring without being painted!
They are exceptionally beautiful this year.  We will be painting them in class tomorrow:-)

"Garden Pots"  this weeks watercolor class lesson,  we painted the background, dried it, then taped it off with masking tape so that we could drop heavy color into the pot area and let the colors mingle.  We then dropped a little salt in for texture of moss and garden debris to make them look old and worn.
