This spring I was only able to paint one watercolor of the white almond blossoms. They bloomed, it rained, it was windy and they were gone.

These are some of the steps taken.

I started out by putting the vase and the flowers on the paper first.

Then I start working around the paper putting in the colors and shapes I see.

Here I start looking for contrast.

Looking for depth.

Looking for atmosphere too.
