First Tulip Watercolor Painting

One of the best parts of spring is the glorious color after the white winter and gray and muddy early spring.  I love tulips and daffodils particularly.  Next will come the lovely fragrant lilacs.

In an effort to begin painting spring flowers I watched a YouTube video on painting tulips.  Mine look very little like the lovely loose tulips in the video, but they were fun and a pretty good first effort, in my view.

Loose tulips, first effort...

Because I wanted to make a greeting card for a friend, I looked at the different card blanks that I had and likes the Kraft card blank the best.  This is that card with an envelope behind it.
