MATERIALS

Arches Watercolour Paper 185gsm.

Pen: Uni-pin 0.8, waterproof pigment ink.

Rowney watercolour paints: Olive Green; Naples Yellow; Cobalt Blue; small touches of other colours.

Paper towel.

Size 12 brushes (two).

Masking tape.

Easel (optional).

STEP ONE

I placed the lilies in a position where their stamens were not going to stain cushions, paintings, or anything else if they dropped (I learnt this the hard way).

I taped the watercolour paper to a support board to prepare for a later stage of dribbling paint, when I would need it to stand up.

I sketched some of the feature lilies. I intended to add a couple more lilies after the washes of paint.

STEP TWO

I applied the first colours, some of which were thrown on as the substrate leaned against a wall. The paint was loaded up on wet brushes and flicked on and dashed on. I also poured and dribbled some paint, letting it make vertical lines. Some of the watercolour paint was gently washed in.
