– Winter Wonderland – Day 11 POINSETTIA
Winter Wonderland 31 Days 31 Paintings Challenge!!!
Today is day 11/31 Charlie’s prompt list says “POINSETTIA” I am joining doodlewash if you like to do watercolor painting or ink-wash or sketckes you can still join in to this December Challenge, you’re invited! Check the doodlewash link!
There is no Christmas without a Poinsettia! This plant is beautiful and is one of the Christmas flowers the deep red of the traditional flower is a wonderful color. I guess at this time of the year this plant is used to decorate indoor and outdoor pretty much everywhere around the world! I have been drawing poinsettia since I was a child, creating hand drawing Christmas cards for my sweet mom and family! No matter if is a real plant a drawing or anything that represent this red flower, just the presence in the house enhance the feeling of the holidays.
Details about my watercolors:
watercolors are outlined with black and white ink pens. I used French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle 12 demi-godets half-pans travel metal box Ink pens used Pigma Micron Black ink #02, white Uni-ball Signo gel pen and a black ink Pilot Prera fountain pen fine nib . I also used a Pentel Pocket Brush I painted on a small 3.5 x 5.5 inches mixed media sketchbook.
