A Rose Aglow





A Rose Aglow
watercolor sketch on paper
18 x 26 cm


The rose in this painting is situated in front of my daughter's high school. As I was walking past it, the sun was hitting it in a way that made it seem it was glowing with a beautiful mix of yellows and pinks.  I recently purchased some paints from the Ecoline liquid watercolor line. I enjoyed playing here with the pleasant intensity they possess. With this type of liquid ink there is the possibility of degradation of its properties over time, I will keep it for sketching purposes only.

    Your rose is very beautiful, Celia! I love Ecoline, I've been working with it just yesterday, what a coincidence.
