Early March is the period when this elusive flower comes into its own. The quince is of Japanese origin, therefore I wanted to give the composition an unusual layout with most of the detailing on the left hand side and then gently flowing into free space on the right and the surprise of a butterfly about to land on the flowers.
The play of light is astounding, the rich red blossoms come out three dimension and when the light is focussed on the embroidery, more detail and luminosity occurs to the viewer.
The fluid and light water colour wash is a perfect marriage with the densly embroidered flowers. A lovely ensemble to charm any room.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Embroidery

Technique which consists in adding on a fabric a flat or relief pattern made of simple threads, sometimes by integrating materials such as sequins, pearls or even precious stones.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
