Parrot Tulip in Watercolour

Hi, I have been painting a parrot tulip in watercolour over the last couple of weeks. I have worked from both the tulips in my garden and photographs. I find photographs work very well because flowers fade so quickly. With digital camera and my wonderful surface pro I can get a very good rendition of the tulip. Colours can then be matched to the flower whilst it is blooming. The light on the tulip was beautiful and produced wonderful effects. I painted the flower using mainly Sennelier paints on Moulin Du Roy paper.
