"Red Hibiscus!" Watercolor Paper 12" x 18"


"Red Hibiscus"

A quick watercolor study for a future large acrylic painting.  It is odd how something that was supposed to be a practice piece turned out to be pretty successful!

  2. This is definitely successful!!! I love the color and the looseness to this. I can't wait to see it as an oil painting too. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

  3. Michael, it's beautiful. You caught the vibrancy and the fragility of the flower. Your edges are gorgeous.
