This is Cherub and Flowers, an original watercolor painting that just came back from Living Light Gallery. I couldn’t wait to pop it out of the frame and ‘fix’ several things that were bothering me.
Did you ever look at one of your older watercolor painting and have an obvious problem suddenly jump out at you?
In this painting, I toned down the white flowers on the left side, so the cherub vase stood out as the center of interest. I darkened the ferns beside the cherubs face, and softened a few of the hard edges.
Watercolor is a terrific medium – you can change anything at any time, even a year later.
