Magnolia Blossoms, watercolor on hot press Arches, 5″ x 9″
Last week I took some time off from work because I was sick with a cold. I mainly slept, relaxed, and did some reading, but I did do some artwork as well. I recently organized all my reference photos on my computer and I found a photo of some magnolia blossoms that I took while I was staying at Snow Farm this past April. Then I started fiddling around with my art supplies and I found a scrap of hot press Arches watercolor paper that I took home with me and have been saving all this time.
I wasn’t really used to the hot press paper and I haven’t done anything with watercolor in a long time, but it was fun to just play around with it. I wasn’t aiming for accuracy or anything great, just a pretty picture. I’m just happy that I ended up doing something productive when I could have been just feeling miserable being sick.
