The mentioned book about flowers in water colours on one side and some beloved company on the other I attempted to do some painting exercises. Now I really love flowers and I make them out of textiles but not really so much in paintings. The six images on the left are done with water colours, the ones on the right with acrylic colours. This was my least favourite exercise by far. Still I think I learned a lot. You need to have a good eye for form and colour nuances to bring flowers to life. The water colours are better to work with as you can layer them to bring depths and natural shades. It was difficult not to make it too symmetric for example. So is was hard work but worth it.
