Art2love -Watercolor by Jean

I have been working with triads of new primary colors just to see what will happen. This time I used Perylene Red, Hansa Yellow Medium, and Colbalt Blue. Perylene Red is a much stronger and warmer color than the rose color I usually work with. I started with the flower on the left because the pattern I created in the lower left indicated that I needed a flower there. I didn't draw any flowers ahead of time and just put them in with the brush. I made two more and then added some leaves as I went along. I wasn't sure I liked the red because I'm more comfortable with the softness of the rose color. I wasn't sure I even like the painting. I left it at that, but I came back the next day and added some more background. After all what did I have to lose? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I think it did come together. What do you think?

So it's nice to have a little bit of time to experiment with different techniques that I have either read about or saw somewhere and have always always wanted to try. This is one of those paintings. I didn't know it was going to be a tree, till I got well into it. As I worked this tissue technique, it was fun to just play with the colors and shapes. As I worked, suddenly I saw this tree and it's lovely branches. So I hope you enjoy seeing my tree...
