How to Paint Cactus in Watercolor Painting By Lori Andrews

[ilikecryptozoology]

first i was wodering why paint a cactus thay already have bright colours

[bandonart]

I adore your style. The outcome is where I hope to someday be. I'll be visiting your website for info on your DVD/video's for sale, but in the meantime, here is what I'd like to someday find: 1) Time lapse progress just like yours. I can see where the destination is but take my own time to arrive.2) BUT, I would also like to know HOW you got there. Not stroke by stroke, but perhaps a small text box with technique, brush size, color name. Thank you for your contribution.

Hi LAArtGallery, you've inspired me to do more watercolours. This time though, I'm letting go, really splashing around and see what they do, instead of trying to achieve perfection. I have to pay my dues!!!!!

This is lovely Lori. I like the way you achieve the colours by using glazes. And your masking is meticulous too!

Beautiful image.

[LAArtGallery]

Thanks so much. I love my embosser tool, and my frisket.

[beffer2000]

I always wanted to see a desert when the cactus was starting to bloom. Gorgeous!

[manyonerise]

Very pretty and nice painting :D I love those fruits, been awhile since I had fresh off the cactus though. They can be had in the stores here in TX, but they're not as ripe and large as the ones I used to find everywhere in AZ. *****

[LAArtGallery]

Yes, they are huge, I'll have to take some photos and put them up here. Thanks for commenting. :)
