Party Time Parrot Tulip

9x6 watercolor using Rosa brand paints made in Ukraine on Winsor & Newton 140 lb cold press paper done earlier this month. With this variegated parrot tulip I've added other colors that complement one another for maximum effect. Before painting the tulip, I did a pale underpainting wash with pink, blue, and yellow primary colors. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith
