This is so beautiful, really love it xxx
Ruth Vilmi
Oh, thank you, Inqz:-)
Kate Eller
Oh I see the little dog too. Hi funartist. I love this watercolor technique and you have done a really fine job here. Colors are superb. Beautiful dabbles and clear crisp edges just where they need to be. I can understand why you have kept it for yourself.

Very very beautiful.. I also want to try it again. Mari
Ruth Vilmi
Thank you for the compliment, Tanmari:-) Do try again. It’s such fun. This was done using the wet-on-dry method. I also use wet-on-wet sometimes and have a video of that in YouTube:

I’m happy you like my Favourite flower:-) Thank you. Are you have any problems with Red bubble? Apart from this one, I can’t see any pages with pictures.

Oooh this is stunning Ruth!!!! Love the dog and those blooms just help add that special interest to this beautiful painting.
Jim Phillips
Beautiful Ruth, I was surprised when I read that this was a wet on dry painting, as it looks more like a wet on wet. Regardless it’s very well done.
Ruth Vilmi replied
Thank you, Jim. I mean that I started with dry paper this time (large, 100 X80cms) and then only sprayed some parts. Usually I really soak the paper and then allow it to dry a little before painting, as in Rusniku in the Rain http://www.redbubble.com/people/funartist/art/2665546-3-rusniku-in-the-rain
