Hydrangea in watersoluble crayon on watercolor paper
Another page in my small Strathmore Visual Journal. The cold press paper has a very strong weave texture almost like Mi-Tientes wove side, but it's good paper and somehow I can get clean lines on it. This one involved some negative drawing and painting. I did it in three passes, with blues, greens and finally the black background with dry green and yellow ochre stems over it.
Had fun with it and may try some other floral subjects with my Neocolor II sticks. They have a great texture, soft and opaque.
EDIT: Later on, I found the watercolor pencils I was looking for and did my Hyacinth again in full bloom. It's very brilliant now in its corner of the garden, this time I brought in the two stones marking the corner of the bed. I love how it blazes there, contrasting the yellow jonquils and bright spring greens.

This looks so beautiful. Good for sharing this information. The colours have come up very beautifully and it looks just like you have used water colours.
