  3. Hello Fábio. I observed that there is not much pressing of the surface.It seems like you easily wash and re-apply colors on the surface. Other stunning watercolor, maybe a geometric, I'm not sure about this, but still transparent.Cool work again.

  5. Hi Juan, Thanks! Yes, maybe it's geometric, but it's just a study, it's a quick watercolor. I've been painting gladiolos, pink, red, yellow, etc. This study is to understand the flower shapes, etc.

  6. Hello Emmy, thanks for stoping by again! Yes...There's a correct pressing, how can I explain...you "touch" the paper, you don't press against the paper...And I re-apply just twice..it's the limit.

  10. I love your gladiolos! I love the way they look a little geometrical, it gives them strength, and the colours make them delicate, so it's a very striking mixture of power and softness

  11. I like the light being captured on the petals in this one, Fábio!

    Showing depth with yellows can be challenging for me, but you pulled it off in this painting.

    Good job!

  12. You are a master at flower painting. I like the way you captured the light. It appears so brilliant. I also like the way you do your backgrounds. The add to the depth of the watercolor.

  14. Hi Cathy, thanks again for your words!

    Hi Dean..yes, I try not to paint with "yellow ochre" because it's opaque..I think this painting is not so transparent as I wanted...But it's the first one. I've been painting red, pink, white gladiolos. I'll post them later. Thanks for your opinion.

  15. Hi Jean...thanks a lot! Yes, I think that a background can add depth and light (contrast). I work with the main subject and the backgroud at the same time. Thanks again for your words.

  21. Hello, Pamella, thanks for stoping by.No, I don't like retard mediums. Watercolor paint dries fairly quickly..and, in my opinion, it's exciting. I work quickly. o you paint watercolors? Are you a painter?
