Happy Easter!
Nothing says Spring quite as well as tulips popping through the ground, right? My dad's favorite flower is tulips, so I always think of him when I paint them. I'm preparing for an illusionary watercolor workshop that I'm teaching in Springfield, IL on April 13 – 16th. There still might be a couple of openings if you contact Mary Selinski at this email: mselinski@aol.com We’ll be learning how to make objects look ghost-like, so we can see through them. It took me about 7 years to perfect this technique, but now it's lots easier to do the magic transparent look.
Hi Karen, I do like your blue ghostly tulips! The design works well with the organic shapes of the tulips! Fun!
