Watercolour transparent layering exercise - Project Rainbow Lotus

Hey,
This blog is actually a dedication to women over the world. I knew so many women even though they are highly educated, but has to live a life that is completely controlled by a chauvinist husband. I am talking especially about Indian women. Being an Indian woman, life is a dedicated one. We usually do not marry multiple times. We have freedom for everything, but we are restricted to make our decisions after our marriage. This is the case of almost 90 % of married Indian women. So this lotus represents ourselves, it grows in mud but it is beautiful. We are strong but the male chauvinist Indian men try to us in chains.
About the painting: this is an exercise of transparent layering. I previously demonstrated transparent layering using a single colour. This time it is multicoloured like a rainbow.

Mother's day card made using watercolor

Hi,
My today's vlog and blog is a watercolour floral card. I used loose rose and leaves on this card.  The colours used are Quinacridone Rose, Blue and grey. Rose colour is well watered down for the rough floral shape. Less watered rose colour is used for the petals. A combination of blue and grey is used to paint leaves. I hand-lettered the sentiments using a brush pen.

Easter cards made from watercolor

Hi,
I made two varieties of Easter cards for this Easter. One is a typical religious Easter card and the other two are secular cards.
For the religious card, I used masking technique using a cross made by taping two pieces of painters tape. I painted loose flowers, buds and leaves around the cross. I painted gold metallic paint on the edges of the card.

Easter eggs cards were made using simple painting and transparent t lifting method. Loose flowers were added to this card also. On the other card, I doodled some designs also
