Artwork-Gouache on Hahnemühle hot press ‘The Collection’ Watercolor paper.
Did you know that the protea dates back about 300 million years, and are considered to be one of the oldest families of flowering plants on the planet?
Based off one of the exercises in ‘Painting Florals with Gouache’ by Vidhi Khandelwal. I added a couple of flowers to the two in her tutorial. You can find out more about this book here.

Artist Ambassador for Zebra Pens. I'm a self-taught artist who dances about with all sorts of artistic mediums. My main loves are Watercolor, Zentangle and Ballpoint pen. The subjects of my work are many and varied and change at whim. I'm a little bit crazy, but doesn't that come with being an artist? At my Life Imitates Doodles Blog, I post a list of resource links for Tangles, Tutorials and Giveaways two times a week. I also write reviews, hold giveaways and share my art work.

I love these architectural flowers! The color scheme is great with that background!
Thank you, Judy! Traditional botanics don’t have any background at all, but I like color behind them.
beautiful! I am really enjoying your gouache work
Thank you, Alice! I’m enjoying playing with them. Trying not to give in to the urge to buy a bunch of new colors, lol.

Thank you, Mary! I’m really enjoying playing with this style as well as with the gouache!
Your protea is so pretty, especially, done with gouache! Can’t wait to try my Collection paper!
So beautiful. The vibrant pink protea pop against the teal ground and the energy of your strokes stoke the painting.
A million thanks, Sharon!
