I've really missed realistic painting, so now I've started again! A simple subject: my favourite flower, the delicate and graceful pink lotus. I hope you like it!  I used Sonnet watercolors on 300 g cold pressed watercolor papre. I proceeded with the painting layer by layer. After sketching, I started with the background choosing a dark background to make the light-coloured flower stand out.  Here, the edges are still imprecise, I corrected them in the last phase with some fine contouring.  I dampened the petals one by one and used a stronger, but otherwise very pale crimson and crape varnish colour at the tips, with a small amount of Indian yellow and golden ochre at the base of petals.  The finished painting:  Here are the details of the finished painting: I used a darker colour and a thin brush to draw the veins of the petals.
