This week Brenda found us a wonderful video on painting geraniums. She shows a straightforward way to sketch this image. There are two colors that scare me when water coloring-black and red. Mixed the colors as she instructed but it seemed like they were all bleeding together. Dried with my heat tool and the final coat I stippled the very dark red value on the blooms. It gave it some definition. Come join us and paint a geranium of your choice.

Oh, I love the deep red. I just chose some reds in my two different paint brands I used and went to mixing and getting what I liked. It is so much fun to mix and paint. Your painting is gorgeous.

My colors bled together a lot, too, but you managed to get the texture back with the added dark red stippling. I love how full your pot is and I can see now that a lot of my leaves should have been flowers . . . .
Beautiful painting!
