Parrot tulips

Parrot Tulip watercolour  57 x 77 cm           © Elizabeth Tyler
Said to be the grand finale of late spring, the parrot tulips are blooming right now.  They are some of my favourite flowers to paint and I've often returned to them as subject matter.  With their fluffy, irregular and undisciplined shapes they somehow have a special appeal to me, even more so just before they wilt completely.
 Not unlike people whose colourful character reveals itself in splendour at a mature age.

  3. Elizabeth, when you paint the free loose background do you let it dry before you pain the flower and other stems?
