Firecracker Lillies

Firecracker Lillies is my latest watercolour. After masking out the flowers, buds and stems the background was created using turquoise, sap green and lemon yellow. I glazed the colours in wet-into-wet, about five layers. After removing the masking fluid, the lily petals were painted mainly wet-into-wet using a mix of scarlet lake and lemon yellow, with a touch of perylene maroon for the darker area. The spots on the lillies were added in two layers, the first being a mixture of scarlet lake and ultramarine blue, then the second layer a mixture of of these two colours with some sap green to create a darker more intense colour.

I've already started my next painting, another poppy one!
