I just finished my little beetle (bug, not sure what type) he is sitting on a lupin leaf enjoying the sun. I glazed over the background and leaves again using ultra blue and a blue green for the leaves (yellow green for front leaves). Finished off the leaves and the beetle and added some cad yellow light on the sunlit areas.
Thank you Laurie, email sent this morning. 🙂
Thanks
Krista

Barbra, thanks for stopping by. Blogging is really a great tool, there are so many talented artist out there, I wish they all had blogs.
Very nicely painted, Krista! Wonderful work on the leaves and the brilliant red of the bug(looks like some type of soldier beetle to me, which are one of the 'good guys' in the garden)is like a little added gem.

Hi Krista, thanks for the linkup. I can truly say I am very happy to have linked up with a great watercolor artist. That's my next challenge, and I hope I can make my pictures just as vivid as yours! Take care and have a great weekend.
Christine, thank you, I will be posting more WIP. Watercolor is a wonderful medium, once you start you can't stop lol
Rudhi,
Thank you. Welcome to my blog and greetings from canada 🙂
Hello Krista, your watercolors are wonderful! I am so glad to see that you post wip's steps. This is one medium that I just don't know how to work but would love to learn very much. It seems quite difficult to me. I am looking forward to see more of your beautiful work!
Nice tutor! Greetings from Austria;-)
Sandeep, Thank you very much, it is that bright spot that drew me to notice the beetle.
Have a great weekend,
Krista

Hi Krista
Very well done. The sunshine is showing the bright spot!
The blue glazing in the final stage just MAKES it! Gorgeous painting and your other work is also super!
Thank you Shelia, I am pleased with this. It is hard to really see sometimes on the computer especially with greens i find, it looks much better in real life!
Happy Painting!
Krista
Beautiful! I love how his shape almost mimics the lupin leaves.
