A Classical Style Flower Painting of a white Lily.  

 

Flower Watercolour Painting Technique:

First the Lily Flower was drawn in detail onto a good quality 

heavy Watercolour Paper. Then rubber-solution Masking 

Fluid was applied carefully over the flower (using an old paint

brush) to protect it.

 

The background was painted with three or so layers 

of Watercolour Washes using a medium size Paint Brush.

 

When the background had dried, the Masking Fluid was 

peeled off in one piece and a fine sable brush was used 

to fill in the Lily Flower details.

 

No white paint was used in this Painting. The lighter areas 

are light reflected from the Watercolour Paper.
