Description
Blue and purple morning glories in watercolor on Yupo, by Conni Schaftenaar.
I had such fun painting the Blue Poppies on Yupo, I decided to try another floral with an abstract background, created by flooding the whole sheet with Thalo blue and dropping in Sap Green and Opera and scrunching a piece of plastic wrap over it, letting it dry. After that, I drew in the flowers, vines, and leaves and began applying appropriate colors. Yupo is a challenging ground, and I struggled with paint running and pooling; had to do a number of lift-offs and re-applying color.
The photo reference used (see below) had pink and purple morning glories, but I decided the ones that were pink in the photo would be blue.

Love your morning glories and your mastery of working on Yupo.. Bravo, Conni FL and Yeah for Spring!!!

Thanks, Maria, for your lovely compliment, not sure I deserve the term "mastery", though! I'll have to keep testing myself with yupo to hopefully earn that designation! Always appreciate your encouragement and support.
