Yellow Daylilies

Posted on June 20, 2016 | 41 Comments

I love these dwarf variety of yellow Daylilies that I have growing in my yard:

I decided to sketch them with a brown Micron pen before I painted them in watercolors as you see in the photo below on the left.  I then cut simple shapes from paper that I previously painted with watercolors to create a more freeform design on the right:

I had fun experimenting in my art journal on a cool Sunday afternoon.

Happy Painting!  🙂

    Lilies are hard, but you have a gift for flowers, Jill! Hub grows them too, may have to try again (oh, those from last summer were not postable hehe). Beautiful, inspirational post! Loving that brown Micron pen you used too!

    Hit it out of the park again. Love the simplicity yet complexity of the cut out and love the brown outline and detail in the painting. So much beautifulness – za! 🙂 LOL!

    Lovely paintings, Jill. I like how you did 2 different styles. I think I have a day lilly in the front. A cutting from a friend. It’s just flowering now.

    I miss Day Lilies – thank you for your creative and pretty post. Very explorative with the two ways of seeing these lovely flowers, and both wonderful!
