Exploring Contemporary Realism
Our watercolor class has been looking at some contemporary realists and have been inspired to try this style and technique.

I also tried an iris from a photo reference, and I'm happier with how it turned out.
To get a look at one of the very best in this genre, look at

These really photographed nicely too. Just love the depth and layers in the iris.
Thanks Jill. You definitely should finish your flower. Did you choose to do an iris? Maria, thanks. I'm glad I didn't give up on this iris after the first session. It was frustrating me there for awhile.
