Fuchsia Splash

About the Painting:
Name: Fuchsia Splash
Medium: Watercolor on archival professional grade paper
Size: 9×9″
My Process:
I used Pebeo frisket to preserve the whites in the center of the flower and also the inside lines and along the edges of the petals. I used a wood skewer with a sharp point to “draw” the lines and dots in the center with frisket. Once the frisket dried, I painted the outer green areas first, softening the inner edges since I knew I would be coming back over them with fushia color later. Then I moved to the center of the flower, making a very dark color w/ Alizarin Crimson and Thalo Blue. I kept working along the perimeter changes from alizarin crimson to magenta and opera, softening some edges while keeping other hard. Once this dried, I removed the frisket, added muted yellows in the center and topping them with bright yellow. I softened the lines in the petals just using clear water, letting the existing color melt into the lines. I finished with some additional darks in the center for some form.
