Always a good day that begins with a little watercolor.
Day lilies from my garden have been my inspiration. Enjoy!

Iris No. 16 Continued – Watercolor Demo
I began Iris No. 16 for Matthews Artists Guild on Mar. 13,
and am now back in my home studio to continue.
Always, the set-up. Before I begin to paint,
I have everything I think I might need nearby.
Working wet-into-wet in sections, I’ve added a variegated wash and am now using thicker paint for the iris beard.
While still damp, I lift with a thirsty flat brush to create dimension.
More lifting.
Further along, but getting tired…have learned not to push myself.
It only takes an uncertain stroke or two
for a watercolor painting to go downhill fast…
It’s Time To Step Away From The Painting!
To be continued…

Step 8 – Final Step In Iris No. 9 Watercolor Demonstration
Power Surge A Light-Valued Shape
With A Dark-Valued Background
Adding a dark blue background intensifies the yellow/orange shape.
If you’ve been following along, you know that
Iris No. 8 and Iris No. 9 were painted using the same palette.
Iris No. 8 - On To Glory
Iris No. 9 - Clothed In Majesty & Light
Both have a large, light-valued shape, a yellow iris, which did not come alive until I added the dark-valued blue background. In both, I used ultramarine blue (a warm blue) and thalo blue (a cool blue). Plus, thalo blue is a staining pigment, which means it has the strength to power surge.
Have a painting you want to power surge?
Consider This:
1. Light and dark values power surge each other when juxtaposed.
2. Color opposites and near opposites power surge each other when juxtaposed.
3. Use staining pigments to easily create darkest darks.
I actually did all three here. I placed a light value-subject in a dark-valued background. I placed near opposites beside each other. And thalo blue helped flip the power surge switch!
Know someone who wants to try art? Hope you will consider clicking on “Leave a comment” to share my posts and encourage others.
Thanks and see you next week
