Blue Lotus in watercolour "Like a lotus flower, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world".

When the hibiscus flowers bloomed. I have drawn this before with coloured pencils but I thought will give it a try with water colours. The hibiscus flowers bloomed last autumn, now will have to let the winter finish to see their beautiful colours again. #watercolour #watercolourpainting #watercolourflowers #watercolorfloral #hibiscus #hibiscusflower #orangehibiscus #nature #flowers #art #cansonmontval https://www.instagram.com/p/BzCd2tWAyzQ/?igshid=j6mfas3148t

Three purple roses. I just had to try the arches cold pressed watercolour paper that we just bought . Now I understand why watercolour artists love arches brand paper so much. It can absorb water thus you can do layers . I love how the paint 'flows' on it. A lot of positives so far. As painting roses makes me happy because of it's beauty and lovely colours, I thought it would be good for trial. #archeswatercolorpaper #roses #rosespainting #watercolour #watercolourroses #painting #nature #purpleroses #flowers #flowerpainting #floral #flowerart #watercolorflora #watercolourflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoYiNHA56s/?igshid=zpmot7r428ye

Bird of Paradise in watercolour. Amidst the gloomy afternoon the bird of paradise plant next to our patio bloomed. The striking orange colour stood out and brightened my day. #flowerpainting #floral #birdofparadise #watercolour #watercolorfloral #watercolourpainting #birdofparadisewatercolor https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMcqPmAFNx/?igshid=13m28qe6h5nmh

Orange barn owl. The courage to paint with watercolours is one thing, and the other, painting an animal, an owl this time. I love painting this owl, a suggestion from my daughter(her favourite animal) and I am glad I painted it. #animal #owl #owlpainting #watercolour #watercolouranimals #watercolourowl #barnowl #watercolourpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_lZycAbID/?igshid=jdp14rpnnyxx

Water coloured roses. The fear of using watercolours means it took me a while to pick up that brush and use my water colours. Once I have experienced using watercolours I find it calming. I am excited where it (water colours) will take me next. @mindofwatercolor thank you for inspiring me . #watercolour #watercolorpainting #flora #watercolorfloral #nature #flowers #flowerpainting #roses #rosepainting #watercolorroses https://www.instagram.com/p/BxyC2RUFkY0/?igshid=1rhqyvbup7vm2

I thought I will give it another try using watercolours. Surprisingly, I love it. Patience is key and it is calming.
