Variety of Approaches 3 :Delphiniums

Here is my final selection of approaches, this time Delphiniums. I have tried endlessly to grow these in my garden, both in the soil and in pots but they continue to elude me. I am however totally fascinated by their majestic form and their beautiful colours. I hope you enjoy looking. By next week I will have finished my stint at the University and hopefully I will be back to painting as normal. Can't wait!!


Watercolour on Paper


Watercolour over crumpled tissue paper


Textured background using salt.

Collage on a painted ground


Plenty of white gouache



The most recent attempt.

Sorry, no titles and no detail of paper paint etc as they have been painted over some time and I never keep a record of that sort of thing unless they have appeared previously on this site.

    Beautiful paintings! It's easy to see why you are so succesful at painting flowers, you practice a lot! Each painting is special in a unique way.

      Thanks Celia. Yes I am a great believer that painting is like any other skill and can be improved by lots of practice!

      Couldn't agree more Peter, but it is interesting to see how my approach has developed recently.

      Thank you for the lovely comments Mercedes. Larkspur (Delphiniums) are truly inspirational.
