"Hibiscus Flowers", 16x20 inches, Watercolor on Paper
Whenever I go to plant stores, I typically will find gorgeous hibiscus for sale. I created this original watercolor painting by combining multiple reference photos that I have from visiting various plant stores. I could not just choose one to paint, so I developed a pleasing composition combining three photos, and improvising in between. I began the project with preliminary sketching, and then added several layers of watercolor paint.
