Description
Apple Blossom Macro Studies #1 and #2 Diptych, Watercolor on Arches Rough, by Conni Schaftenaar
Several years ago I took a series of photos of a branch of apple blossoms in one of our horse pastures. I first painted something from these photos in my Apple Blossoms in Spring, a watercolor on Masa paper, also in my gallery.
Both Studies were done to play with a combination of transparent (in the flowers) and granulating (in the background and leaves) watercolors. In Study #1, I used a cotton swab to lift off those bokeh background spots.
In Study #2, I did layers of wet-into-wet using greens and Prussian Blue for the background, letting the lovely granulation form - mmm mmm mmm!
I flipped Study #1 using Photoshop to create this Diptych just for fun.
I am posting individual images of Study #1 and Study #2, also.
