Painting - Watercolor On Arches 140# Cold Press Paper
Description
This parrot tulip is in the spotlight as it opens its frilly and vibrant petals to the light. Other tulips in the arrangement are accompanying the star of the show. Painted with transparent watercolor on a half sheet of Arches 140 lb cold press paper, the rich dark background was created with layers and layers of paint to maintain luminosity, going dark but not black.
This watercolor is painted on 140# Arches Cold Press paper.
In 2012 I qualified to be a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS). This is earned by being juried into a select number of local chapter and international watercolor society shows sponsored by NWWS. The initials now follow my signature on my paintings.

Thanks Tom! I build up lots of layers of glazes to get the intensity of color!
