Oh my! These orange daylilies are lighting up the garden, that vivid orange shows so well on the green backdrop! Not bothered by the heat at all, they stir slightly in the breeze as I paint them. First the lines with India ink, then I sweep the watercolor into the masses, trying not to lay down too much paint. This paper is thin, and it can bleed too far when watery. I like switching up my mediums on a daily basis, it somehow keeps everything fresh. Now, if I can just remember not to dip my brush in my drinking water! Painting number 1978 in 1978 days.

Beautiful! Do you put the watercolor on with the drawing up right like that?
