Red flowers


9" x 12"
Acrylics on watercolour paper 

Just like "Blue flowers", these flowers are also a figment of my imagination. They came out following a sweep of a stroke.

I never start abstracts really knowing what I'm going to paint but as I apply the brushstrokes, I start seeing where I need to add contrasting colours or various shapes that should be strengthen. It's a very loose experiment and sometimes I'm really surprised what comes out.

In this particular painting, I also wanted to play with gel medium to attempt an impasto technique on the watercolour paper.

Art card and prints available.
