Growing from seed I planted last year, I had no idea what color these hollyhocks would be! I am a constant gatherer of seeds and plants, and never really remember what is coming up where until the plants are popping up from the ground! Red is my very favorite color - so these blooms are a real treat! Today, I first draw them in India ink, and then start in with the watercolor. While those masses are wet, I drop in additional color, allowing it to mingle in those areas of wet color. I am working ATC size here, but plan to paint these several times in different mediums. I may just have to use my oils tomorrow! Painting number 1967 in 1967 days.
