A few loose white Iceberg roses, very fragile! Painted in watercolour on Waterford. 300gms. I once taught my course “Flowers in Watercolour” in Constantia, a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. In this lovely region many people had their entrance to the property lined with rows of flowering Icebergs. How beautifully these bushes contrasted with the forested hangs of Table Mountain in the immediate background!

    Hi Marie
    Just having a look at your galerie. Beautiful Artwork. I think I can learn alot by looking at your stile of watercolor painting
    Have a nice weekend……Heidi

  • Thank you Heidi, I lectured flowers in watercolour for many years, but have retired since. I was hoping that by buying a card my former students could study my technique as alas, I did not do a book!

    Beautifully painted and presented. Wonderful roses and your depicyion of them dows their delicacy in a very subtle way.
