Tulips in Watercolor

I really enjoy how this painting came out. At first I tried the Let's Make Art tutorial by Sarah Cray, but it just did not work this time, for me. I couldn't get the shapes I wanted just by using my paint brush.

I turned the paper over and began again. I sketched the shapes I was looking for by what I learned on the tutorial and a photo on Pinterest. Then I followed the tutorial to paint the leaves. Using what I learned in the tutorial and photo, I painted the flowers.

I used Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes on Canson watercolor paper.

I just couldn't stop myself, it was so much fun painting the orange tulips, that I painted pink ones and purple too!
