This is for the watercolor & teapot challenges this week. Theresa is struggling with the recent loss of both her husband AND a dear friend. We are to use an Ombre bg on our cards. (Darkest before the dawn)
WC challenge is to paint a simple daisy with using minimal colors. I sketched a loose daisy on my panel and started by doing a light wash of blue intensifying the color as I moved down the panel by mixing bits of paynes grey into the blue. I also used the grey to add some veins and shadows to the flower petals. The olive for the stem & leaves is a mix of blue & yellow. plain yellow for the daisy center with some brown taped on the edges for shadow & interest.
Stamped the PB sentiment with versamark and embossed with Snow White EP.

This turned out beautifully! You created a beautiful ombre background which really makes your daisy pop. The position of the petals is perfect and you created great shadows. I love it.
