Daisy Doodles – Original Watercolor & Gouache

Daisy Doodles is an original watercolor & gouache painting by Ellen Jean Diederich.

Behind the piece: This playful painting is a result of exactly that – play. It takes overlapping to a whole new level.  Daisy Doodles began with the idea to introduce strong warm colors into the background using a grid. Gouache was added to it to play with some more opaque colors and add to the depth and the grid disappeared. I like how the yellow breaks through the middle and run into a large violet flower. I haven’t painted many daisies since I first started painting and it was fun.

This artwork features colorful white daisies in water media with reds and yellows in a contemporary baroque impressionism.
