I love the delicate contrast between the pink and white of this hibiscus. As an added bonus a little bee flew into my frame right when I snapped the photo.
I did a preliminary sketch. White flowers are tricky in watercolors...I feel like I say it about every flower. It really helped me to get out my ideas about the colors in a rough sketch first.
I added many layers of color in the background before working on the flower itself.
Thank you for stopping by!
C'est vraiment jolie et si romantique, j'aime beaucoup (•◡•)
