ArtistNot (watercolor painting likely still in progress, text, Some of the lily forms appear to be only in pencil outline, particularly around the upper right portion, indicating an unfinished state) Create beautiful watercolor wet on wet painting of a bouquet of calla lilies, on white paper that has been mounted on a dark green board. Composition & Subject:The painting features several large white calla lily blooms with yellow-orange spadices (centers) and some large green leaves. Three main lily blooms dominate the composition in the foreground and middle ground, shown from different angles. The stems are long and green, leading down towards the bottom edge of the paper. The overall style is botanical and realistic, emphasizing the graceful curves of the flowers. Technique & Color:The medium is transparent watercolor, which allows the white of the paper to provide the lightest tones and highlights, giving the painting a luminous quality. The colors used are a harmonious blend of whites, various soft greens, and hints of pale yellow and subtle violet/purple in the shadows of the white petals. Techniques such as washes and wet-on-wet application appear to have been used to create soft gradients and blending effects on the petals and leaves. The background is the plain white paper, which helps the colored subjects stand out. masterpiece extremely detailed
A high-angle, eye-level shot shows a gray background with two white calla lilies and one purple calla lilies on the left, next to three colored pencils, one with a green body and two with brown bodies. A white art canvas with a painting of white, purple, and green calla lilies in various stages of completion is in the center. The painting shows a mix of fully colored flowers and uncolored pencil line drawings of flowers and leaves. To the right, two white watercolor palettes, each containing 6 small square wells of watercolor paints in shades of green, purple, and black. One white calla lily is also next to the watercolor palettes.
