Description I loved the unusual colour of this iris, a lovely change from purple or white!

For some reason I can't get the small view to work, please look at the full view.

After seeing it on the screen I went away and changed (hopefully improved!) it, the colours are more accurate in this image too. Fingers crossed the small image will show this time...

Lovely and gorgeous,...the way you use watercolors amazes me. Do you use a combination of watercolor pencils and watersoluable crayons as well as watercolor paints? The technique is breathtaking.

Thank you!!!! I actually only use pure watercolours, I've never mastered pencils or crayons!

*bowing I'm not worthy of such eye candy. How long does it usually take you to finish something like this? Do you do the background first? I'm just starting out doing watercolors and could you use some pointers if you have 'em. Please look at my newer gallery submissions if you have time. I think that I will try my hand at a flower as well.

Thanks so much Janie! I really enjoyed painting this one, it seemed to be easy (I'm sure you understand what I mean!)

Ruth - this is stunning! The vibrant colors, the luscious deep green background fading into the iris' colors, the depiction of the flower and buds themselves - I would call this a masterpiece of its genre, you should definately put this into a show! Barrie

i couldn't see the small view either. have you tried re-submitting? then again, not having the small view is great for getting us dAers to look at it properly in full view
