Narcissus 11x15 2010. When I walked into my watercolor class on Monday, there was this beautiful arrangement of white narcissus arranged in an interesting dark blue container that was resting on a lacy cloth. My teacher told us not to draw and to have fun. We were given a suggestion to paint the dark reddish orange rim of the narcissus centers and immediately put in some New Gamboge. Then came the flowers by painting the negative background. This is a fun way to paint, especially when the flowers are the main interest.
