Class for White Rose of Sharon
I was so excited about my own painting of the White Hibiscus (which I found out it really a White Rose of Sharon) that I taught it to my Wednesday Watercolor Group. We had fun as usual but they found it difficult to paint the White flower ... or should I say, not paint it.
The trick is to keep the water to the maximum and the color to a minimum so the white of the watercolor paper shows through. Over doing the painting details can be the down fall ... but no problem .... just title the painting something other the WHITE!
