These are the classic “cup shaped” magnolias found all around the southern United States. I remember their subtle scent filling the springtime air when I traveled through that area. They are painted with the transparent watercolors only. I used a “Rose Madder” and “Wisteria Violet” to capture the beautiful tones in the petals.
This is one of my favorite trees in the neighborhood and it is blooming profusely this year. I painted these with a black background but left it white in the finished painting because of the great contrast with the intense colors.
