SINGLE ROSE by Martha Kisling

SINGLE ROSE

Watercolor 8x10

Bid Here

I love to paint a large, single flower where I can focus in on the fine details of the petals and also create a dramatic composition. I first lightly sketched in the rose and then wet the paper to paint in the background, adding some spatters of pink and green. I painted the petals after the paper was dry and enhanced areas of the back ground around the rose.

Single Rose is one of several smaller paintings that can be found on my Auction page at Daily Paintworks here

"Music of Love" - Watercolor Collage by Martha Kisling

MUSIC OF LOVE

Original Watercolor & Collage - 11x15

Purchase Info

This painting began as a class demo for painting roses. I later came back to it and decided to experiment and used bubble wrap to stamp some texture in the background with green watercolor and randomly collaged on some very thin pieces of rice paper. I then used white gesso on a stamp with musical notes and one with the word 'love' to add some fun to the composition.
