Pen & Watercolour Wash: Flowers: Scratchy Broken Line Style with Expressive Ink & Vibrant Colour

Hi Carmen - I love Aussie Red Gold too! I don't use it much for classes because I suspect many people don't have that colour. I usually use it for fur on animals, and wouldn't have thought to use it on a flower, but you are right - it is a perfect colour for the flower and goes beautifully with the Hansa yellow. The green-gold is another great colour to use for foliage and I love that you chose a different colour palette and made it your own. Best wishes, Carrie ps, thank you so much for your kind reviews, they really do put a smile on my day.

Orange is like that, right? These are beautiful, Carmen! -Judy

Beautiful! I love your color choices!

You made it your own  very beautiful Carmen 😍

Thank you Christine, Carrie did mention in the class you could try one color! I will have to paint Nadine's ducks in orange as I squeezed out too much Aussie!

I had a strong desire to use orange! Which is a favorite Aussie red Gold and some Hansa yellow light and green gold and indigo for leaves. I do love the demo colors but I strayed.
