Watercolor White

I have recently learned how to paint white flowers....using color. The colors on the left are examples of white color used in the vignettes on the right. Being able to "play" with color and design is a tremendous gift to me. I am incredibly grateful for any snippet of time for this pursuit.
The artist Henry Miller once said, " One of the important things I learned in making watercolors was not to worry, not to care too much." I'm working on that and we'll see where this amity settles!

VERY impressed with your white flower paining, Julene...your watercolors are lovely. Doing white in watercolor can be tricky... You make it look so easy! Such fun to see... Happy Week, my friend ((HUGS))
