Paint These Hibiscus Flowers in Watercolor

Watercolor Demo

Fabio Cembranelli demonstrates, step-by-step, the process he uses to create his loose and flowing flowers.  The Hibiscus are painted on 300 lb Arches watercolor paper which has been completely submerged in a container of water and stretched onto a wooden surface.  The artist writes:  Working with the wet Arches paper must be quick, because it dries quickly and removal of pigment to obtain luminosity is very difficult when paint dries completely.

Red and yellow roses with blue background create a striking composition in this watercolor by Fábio Cembranelli.    Cembranelli demonstrates, step-by-step, the process he uses to create his loose and flowing flowers.  The artist writes:   "The execution of the work itself took about 15 to 20 minutes. The speed of execution is not a rule, but for my work it is important as it generates a natural spontaneity in the final work."
