Sarah Wood Floral Artist. Saturday, January 4, 2014. This is a photo of Delamere Forest in Cheshire. The forest is a great place to walk in with many paths to choose from.

Sarah Wood Floral Artist: Lilium 'Harmony'
http://sarahwoodfloralartist.blogspot.com/2015/08/lilium-harmony.html
Sarah Wood Floral Artist. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Raindrops on flowers are particularly difficult to paint, but I like a challenge and this painting certainly was one. The watercolour and gouache painting is based on photographs I took in the pouring rain. There really was no time to do some sketching as it was really wet. The Lily genus is made up of a large and diverse group of hardy bulbous plants, with about 80 species and numerous hybrids. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Link to my website.

Sarah Wood Floral Artist: Liquidambar styraciflua stage five
http://sarahwoodfloralartist.blogspot.com/2015/07/liquidambar-styraciflua-stage-five.html
Sarah Wood Floral Artist. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Liquidambar styraciflua stage five. Here I am adding colour to the background leaves. I am using a number one brush and a very wet wash of Permanent Rose. I just have to keep building up the layers of paint on the leaves until I am happy with the tonal values. Next highlights will then be added to the raindrops. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Link to my website. Prints also available from Imagekind. View my complete profile. Society of All Artists.

Sarah Wood Floral Artist. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Travelling in a Box. My husband has released his new book, 'Travelling in a Box'. It feels so funny to actually be in a book and be part of the adventure. There I am on the front cover holding a paint brush. Mike is a science fiction author with many short stories published worldwide, so humorous travel memoir is a little different for him. It certainly has been fun reading it. Amazon. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Seven Spot',watercolour and gouache painting.

Sarah Wood Floral Artist. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Liquidambar styraciflua stage four. Most of the grass is finished. I am now splashing colour onto the leaves. After all that green its nice to see some bright colours. I am using wet mixes of Cobalt Magenta, Quinacridone Magenta and Permanent Rose on the liquidambar leaf with a number two brush. I am also picking out the veins and raindrops with a thick wash of Permanent Magenta and a number one brush. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Link to my website.

Sarah Wood Floral Artist: May 2015
http://sarahwoodfloralartist.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sarah Wood Floral Artist. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Visited Ness Gardens yesterday afternoon and the sun came out for a couple of hours. The gardens are really looking beautiful. I took so many photographs. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Fringed Group, Liliaceae. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. I love Tulips, but when I plant them out in my garden they never appear. I don't know what I do wrong, maybe they get eaten. Last year I decided to try planting some in pots. Success, I have some Tulips. Now I need to buy more pots.
