I've got a cornflower story for you today. It started with me buying some pretty cornflowers from a nice old lady and putting them in this cute mug-to-vase. My cat Trisha agreed to pose for the photo.
Then I wanted to paint some cornflowers. Here's my setup. I've used this tutorial.
And here's the finished painting! I'm just a beginner and though I wish it looked better I'm still happy I'm getting the hang of working with watercolours. They are tricky, but sooo beautiful and gentle.
