Watercolor flower and moth painting

 

titled: “Learning to see the wings”

 

KIMH

A very good friend of mine, told me, “Learn to see the Butterfly  wings in people”, she told me then, what a butterfly really looks like, when you turn it over is an ugly worm. But when you look at the overall picture, is a beautiful creation.

Learning to see the good in others or learning to not judge others, is not always an easy task, but it is worth it! unless, you don’t talk and listen to people get to know them, there’s not much point on going with the thought of (he or she is just a bug), is negative and has no value, and not healthy for you.

Yet, must understand that sometimes, no matter how good we are to others,  not always you will, get a positive result.  If that is the case well, We must give attention to whom really appreciates the time, and respect us.

Don’t get me wrong, after the conversation, as a joke in reply I said, So,… what if, I picture that person as a water bug?  she nodded. 

Titled: “Learning to see the wings”, in watercolors on Canson 140lb paper, size is 5” by 7”, slightly darker, signed, cropped for better view, pre printed, acid free, post card,  Painting made in honor of my beautiful friend Kim.

Use small paintings for larger scale paintings, it will help you to plan a head and with time, as well as to choose a color palette and correct your previous mistakes. It  will  give more strength to your drawings,  and must importantly, will help you in your composition.

Each painting should be looked as a continuation of the previous, if you dabble in watercolors or any other medium, use it as a preview of what’s next in your painting projects.

The canvas irregularity's made this painting a challenge. nevertheless, The Lilly now sits happily drying. The background greens and darks makes it to stand out.  This painting will be done for sure again in a larger scale.

Born out of the inspiration from this resent watercolor painting, where the flower  sits down on a teacup.
