Original artwork description:

Hydrangea is my passion and love for many years. What a gorgeous color this hydrangea has! At first glance straight into the heart!

This hydrangea from the Dutch paradise is Keukenhof. He is also known as the Garden of Europe, one of the world's largest flower gardens, situated in the Netherlands.

This picture was painted in only one (!) color (99.9%) - Green Apatite Genuine. What a beautiful name for the paint! Plus one drop of Lunar Black and one more drop of Gamboge, which are not even noticeable, I might not have used them.

Paper behaves unusually in a la prima technique, well, more precisely, you need to adjust and get used to it... That's why I love watercolor. And also for granulation (all these unusual dots and "flakes" in the picture). Granulation is everywhere - in architecture, in flowers, in food, in landscapes, it make any painting more mysterious, fuller, richer... And most importantly, granulation is a highlight. It catches the eye, attracts, adds personality and charisma to the painting. Granulation is space! Do you agree?

NOTE: The colors shown on your screen and/or web viewing devices may vary slightly from the actual painting or print colors. The images in-home might not be to scale, and serve for illustration purposes only.
