Parrot Tulip

I started this with a pen and ink version and then added watercolor. 5"x7" on Arches hot press. This was an experiment on hot press since I haven't used it in a long time. I was pleased with how it worked.

I love when you work in these media and show us the progress. This one is no exception. This is another fantastic piece. I'd love to see a whole show of these works sometime.

Just gorgeous, Anne! I'm glad the Arches hot press did well for you here. Very nice paper and it shows off your work to perfection.

Thank you. I'll keep it in mind. I don't always remember to scan the steps along the way.

I watched a video on working on hot press that I found very helpful. I dampened each area before I painted it so the paints covered more easily and soft edges worked better.

I only used hot press once, a sample piece. Then I bought some I never used. Could you please link that video?

When I first opened the thread, only the first picture was showing and I thought, oh I would love to see this one in color and Behold! There it was! Just stunning.

Anne, thank you! I love Rachel and likely saw this when it was first released, as I sub to her channel. This time I will pay more attention and apply the techniques.
