Brilliant Buttercups, 8 x 9.75, original watercolor
Buttercups are so hardy and plentiful. I love seeing them in meadows on roadsides and alongside trails. They brighten our world in untended areas.
The background is painted wet into wet to allow the colors to flow into each other. This interesting yet soft focus background allows the main subject to shine.
Green Apatite Genuine, from the Primatek collection by Daniel Smith, is one of my favorite greens. This specialty pigment is actually made from grinding the semi precious stones. The result is a super granulating pigment that falls apart in unexpected ways in a wet wash. It also mixes very nicely with a wide range of other pigments. Using this paint adds a magic that can't be duplicated – not even if you try.
This is an ORIGINAL watercolor painting using professional materials by Melissa Tai.
This painting will never be reproduced as a print, you will be buying a one-of-a-kind painting.
It is signed on the front and back.
