Current work - flowers and lynx, Feb 2013

To move on from painting snow the watercolour class wanted to do something more Spring-like, so we are painting flowers. We are learning to " cut out" flowers and leaves from a wet-in-wet background by painting darker behind them. We also tackled a Spring-like view of Lake Bled in Slovenia, with its fairytale spire.
