This new 15 x 22 watercolor painting based on an orchid photo I have taken during my latest trip to Singapore last month. The photo was taken in the Singapore Botanical Garden where many varities of orchid are grown and displayed. I started this watercolor painting by sketching out the orchid onto the cold press watercolor paper. Then a mask was used to cover the orchid area because I planned to do a watercolor wash for the whole background. Pebeo drawing gum was used for the blocking out and the masking of the orchid.
