A sea of colour
The bright blue flowers of the cornflower bob in the breeze of a summers day alongside the bright red petals of poppy flowers. Like little beacons of colour these gorgeous wild flowers and pretty annuals stand out amongst the soft grasses attracting pollinators.

I made a quick study in watercolours to capture the globes of colour that hover amongst the grasses and the delicate petals of the poppies.
I started off by using a masking fluid before applying the background colour and green hues for the grasses. Once the masking was removed I applied the different colours for the flowers before finishing off with some white paint highlights.

yeah that's lovely, like that alot! :) super vibrant.
I want to do something a little larger in oils or acrylic- but I'll have to see if I have the time (and weather).
i can see that totally lifting a room if it was a bigger piece on a wall for sure. lots of life in it.
Yes a long canvas running across a wall- but I don't have any wall space left!
exellent work
Cool, thanks.
great captures...
nice post
There is an art which wants to be pleasant, and there is an art which wants to comprehend life.
@opheliafu

They are really wonderful. Haven seen those kind of art work before in my life. Nice concepts.
Really? Good job there is lots of lovely art on Steemit for you to look at :D
what a beautiful bunch of wildflowers
I'm inspired to turn part of my garden into a wildflower garden next year.
The outcome is very cute ❤ I love nature themed watercolours! And I also chill out a lot when I draw flowers. Thanks for sharing ❤
A great way to relax!
wow, beautiful indeed.Great work of art...upped.
ooh masking fluid, sounds like fun stuff, negative space can lead to positive things - great work!
We have a love hate relationship- it can rip the paper so I try to avoid.
aah is it meant for something more sturdy like canvas?
Another beautiful painting-- really like that slightly wild "cottage garden" look, with so many colours.
Oh wow, this is just awesome! Really loving all the color. You are talented :)
I have given you a follow! Talk soon.
Awesome, thank you!
Very nice painting, I love botanical art :)
Nature is always inspiring!
Very interesting work!)
I like that the first thing I saw was a picture of real flowers, so after that I could see them in a new light with your artist's look.
Very nice!
Thank you, glad you liked the format!
Its very beautiful. U are so talanted.☺
Thank you
The wild colors of summer ringing a pond....
Wonderful!
thanks
Your painting just made me smile. There is nothing like an amazing meadow full of wildflowers. You have captured that feeling so well, can almost smell the breeze. I upvoted you cause I love to look at other's art!
Thank you, that is very kind
Truly beautiful @opheliafu. You "killin it" with water colors. Just WOW!
Wow! You made the process look very simple! Beautiful drawing.
Thank you!
So pretty! So you put all the flowers in first via masking fluid then go in with the grasses? I always wondered how this was done.
I need to make more effort at painting them for my posts- I painted them for a Steemit meet-up, they are back to ink and paint colour now! :D
