White flowers



I was doing a few practice paintings for a watercolor group that I belong to and this is what I came up with. I don't really know what kind of flower it is. The picture makes it look almost like some kind of hydrangea but the green leaves for much larger. What I've painted is just a tiny bit of the overall picture. The overall picture had five pots with plants in them and some garden figurines in front of the pots. The flower I painted happens to be one of the potted plants. And I only painted a small portion of it. I didn't think I could manage to re-create the garden figurines with any degree of accuracy so I just eliminated them.

This is just a quick small study I don't think I'm going to turn these in as my final work on painting this image but I think it's a good start.

I like that the flower stand out on the road in there some greens and yellows and browns surrounding them but I'm not happy that the flowers turned out somewhat flat.  I think I'm gonna have to work on that and get them to look a bit rounder. Regardless I enjoyed painting them I hope you enjoy looking at them.
thank you
