May: Start coloring a Rhododendron pop-up by useing a Japanese painting"gansai".

Before started coloring, I had decided to use "gansai" which is paint used in Japanese paintings.

This is my first challenge to use it so that it took a time till I could be accustomed to.

And this is main parts of Rhododendron pop-up.

What do you think about it?

I colored white and pink as petals and blu-green as leaves.

And putted some tiny gold on the edge of stamen.

It's a delicate expressions, actually, but I love this way. 

Anyway, I finished coloring Rhododendron about 1 week.

And next motif was "Iris ensata".

I'll write about it soon.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Kind Regards,

Hiromi Takeda
