Rhododendron blossoms in watercolor.
Any watercolorist will agree with this statement, whenever your subject is the values of the red tones things can go terribly wrong if you don't apply the paint correctly. I wanted to create the illustion of the flower petals being both lit from behind and from the sun high above in mid day. You can see the shadow lines formed by the stamens as the sun casts its light on the blossoms. The fuscia color is a bit difficult to replicate with the effect of being lit from within. Watercolor is a medium I really studied and was finally able to master in a way that really made me confident as a painter. It is very time consuming and galleries don't give watercolor as much credence as they should when compared to works on canvas.
I hope you find my study a successful exercise in the color of flowers.
