Watercolor Wanderings : Tulips on the Way

Tulips on the Way

Is there anything better than spring flowers after a long winter? A friend brought this bouquet of tulips and the colors were so uplifting. I decided to use a wash technique, flowing in lots of red and yellow paint, letting it dry, (patience!) then slowly finding and "modeling" tulips out of the wash.
