Another sketch of flowers

I did another sketch of couple of flowers a poppy whose petals had blown away and a dried anthurium flower. I find so hard to paint dark colours in watercolours. I might attempt the anthurium again as I am not entirely satisfied with what I have done.

  1. you have such nice handwriting :)

    dark can be tricky in watercolour. I try to leave the light areas as light as possible so the dark areas look darker.
