Indigo and Magnolias


Watercolor 8" x 5" SOLD

The magnolia trees are in full blossom now and look like big pink and white clouds floating in the garden. This it the second time I have painted their flowers and each time I see so much more subtlety in their colors. Lots of light turquoise blue, paynes gray, pinks and greens. I also noticed the strength of the stems holding up the full, heavy flowers.

I used a combination of black tube water color mixed with transparent indigo blue for the rich, dark background.
