Watercolor.

Watercolor botanical painting. I was drawn to the pitcher plant because of it’s uncommon plant behavior. The pitcher plant is a carnorvoristic type of plant, that is easy to recognize by its gaping maw that is covered in a slippery sugar liquid enticing its prey to fall into the center with no hope of escaping. Over a few days, I was able to sketch, lay base color, and add details to create this piece. I really enjoy working with watercolor paint. I think the naturalistic subject works very well with the unpredictableness and creates something almost, unconventionally beautiful.
