Yucca!
« Thread Started on Feb 22, 2008, 12:00pm »

This is a little ATC/ACEO card done in watercolor. I'm intrigued with the tiny yucca blossoms and had some photos of ours that I wanted to paint.

I was experimenting with using a yellow underpainting as suggested by Susan Harrison-Tustain and this is the result.

Beautiful, Jan

I like how you have incorporated yellows, pinks, and blues etc into a very pale flower. It looks wonderful to me.

I think the scan shows this slightly more colorful than it is. I thank you all for liking it. I think I was a bit bolder painting it and that's good for me.

I never have seen a yucca blossom before.

But what I see here I like very very much.
