Variegated tulips in glass tumbler

Medium: watercolour

Inspiration: These tulips were just coming to the end of the season, with some yellowing of the leaves which added an extra dimension to the blooms. The background was kept neutral in order to highlight the variety of colours of the flower heads.

Medium: watercolour, graphite and gouache
