Paint Party Friday - Magnolia Buds

I thought all the artists might like this one:



It's time for Paint Party Friday! I painted some magnolia buds for you today in watercolour pencil. It's done on a (3" x 3") pink post-it note inspired by a walk through the neighbourhood. I added what should be a pinky/salmon sunset in the background for extra interest.

    How true! Non-artistic types never see all the colors there really are in the rainbow. Nice sketch this week too. Enjoy your weekend.

    Those are some pretty flowers. Even as someone who loves art I still only see basic colours. I don't see in Dulux.

    Hi Christine. Love your magnolia buds. Well done. Love that illustration. He's points to carnation which is my flower and she is pointing to purple which is one of my favorite colors. Very nice. Have a wonderful day.

    My job is in the paint industry, the shades get even more so complicated in our minds.

    I love your artist's spectrum. Looks like my brother. He looked at my purple tulip photo which I thought was beautiful and said it was lacking yellow. Hunh? But he fixed it and it's gorgeous!

    Your spring magnolias are delightful.

    I recognize your post-it pieces anywhere. Another nice one to ring in summer!

    Love the magnolia buds. They have such a 'heavy' quality to them, and I think you've captured that.

    I just had a discussion about color with another artist recently. So true!
