I got this orchid as a gift! (earlier this year, I blogged about a long-standing misunderstanding between orchids and me. And then I drew them more! But this is a new plant that lives in my home now - I am its main provider of care and giver of drawing attention. And I gladly share that responsibility with anyone who asks!
So when a scorching day happened this week, and a planned outing to paint on location sounded more like torture than a treat, a decision was made: put an orchid on a chair and see how it could be enjoyed in a climate-controlled environment! With musical accompaniment, I got this one painted with my watercolor+gouache palette - right after I refilled it. Gouache allows me to change my mind and add textures freely with an option to have transparent layers too - a combination that I enjoy whether I am working on a small sketch or a larger painting!
