Purple Iris - Watercolor Painting I am also working on Update 1

I worked more on the shadows on the white part of the Iris and started to develop the stem and bud. I still have a long ways to go on this one. Thanks for stopping in. I hope everyone has a creative day!

You have such patience Krista…i fear my paintings are just the opposite of yours!!!

Krista,
The iris you are painting is my late sister's favorite. It is already beautiful. I so love working a little at a time on my paintings, filling in details. It's all so NEW to me, this feeling confidence in my artwork. Like a miracle. So is your work. I love how the richness of the fall petals is emerging. I called this sort of iris "caterpillar" irises when I was little. Your blog's a joy.

Looking gorgeous! I especially love those little splashes of aqua near the flower center!

Krista, this painting is becoming more and more beautiful with each brushstroke. The velvety texture of the petals is wonderful.

Thank you Stephie, Patricia, Julie, Jeannette (you are too kind!), Angela, Christiane, Joan, Sheila, Sandeep and Vicki.
The teal color is actually not paint, it is masking fluid, it will be a bright yellow when finished. 🙂
