Bees on daisies, in two slightly different watercolour styles. 🌼🐝
I often get bogged down with details in my paintings (pic 2), and have been working to loosen up (pic 1). I’m really enjoying the process so far!

Which style of painting do you prefer? 🧐

Watercolour painting of a white and yellow daisy against a bright green background. The daisy is being visited by a delicate sweat bee, who is mostly black with a hint of pale yellow stripes on her abdomen. Watercolour painting of a white Oxeye daisy against a dark green background with hints of small purple flowers. The daisy’s bright yellow centre is mostly covered by a fuzzy bumblebee, who is mostly black with delicate golden tufts near her wings and along her abdomen. Closeup of the first painting, showing the shimmery paint on the bee’s wings. Closeup of the second painting, showing the shimmery paint on the bee’s wings.

It’s my first post on Flashes, so why not make it about my first attempt at a new art style? ☺️

I created this piece during a workshop with the Salt Spring Painters Guild, and it forever changed the way I think about & approach landscape painting.

I’m inspired to tackle some big pieces now!
Acrylic painting of a worn and weathered wooden boat resting in long summer grass. The paint on the boat has mostly worn away, with just hints of colour left behind. Far in the distance is a low ridge with fields and trees, and just the hint of a tidal estuary. The scene is topped by a cloudscape of tattered white wispy shapes interspersed with patches of pale blue. The same piece as before, with most of the scene rendered in burnt sienna. The clouds and patches of pale blue sky have been painted in “colour”. The same piece as before, but the entire scene is rendered in burnt sienna. The underpainting has a loose style, and almost resembles a sepia toned photograph.
