Thank you for making loose watercolours seem doable I find they make my heart beat faster as they can seem unpredictable 😅 somehow the tight botanical paintings soothe me more but I’m inspired to give this ago !

Love yr Freesia = the fragrant freesia represents deep friendship in the language of flowers. They symbolize qualities such as trust, dedication, attentiveness and honesty.
The freesia plant contains no toxins. However, the fragrant flowers and leaves are not suitable for humans or animals to eat. The tubers, on the other hand, are poisonous to cats and dogs.
Traditionally, you give your spouse white freesias after seven years of marriage. This reminds you of pure, real love. The wonderful scent of the flower comb gives this gift, in addition, it is a symbol of innocence.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Oh wow what a great flower!

I love this looser style of painting. I enjoyed the 'free style' primroses. Thank you Harriet.

[@zenagani6849]

I also love the detailed work too. Its also being confident enough to know the right amount of dilution of paint to water. I will keep practicing.😊

Hi from 🇨🇦

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Hello there!

[@cecilefelicite9887]

Magnifique

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks so much Cecile!

[@bellabaker4943]

I like your hair up. Shows more of your beautiful face and smile. And to painting, I like your loose style as much as I like your detailed style. I have a question. Have you ever double loaded watercolor paint like Donna Dewberry does in one stroke acrylics?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Bella, I will have to have a look at Donna's work to see what you're referring to

[@bibby9000]

I haven’t thought of Donna Dewberry in years! I used to watch her show on PBS. Thank you for bringing back that memory.
