The blue Flower
Blue flower. Acrylics on watercolour paper. Ulla Hennig November 2012
In Germany, the “blaue Blume” (blue flower) stands for mystery and romanticism.
The greens on this painting didn’t come out of the tube. I mixed them out of my primary blue and primary yellow, adding a bit of white in order to make it opaque. I’ve read before that one shouldn’t use the premixed green out of the tube because it doesn’t look natural. So I made a mixing green experiment – and yes, it is true!
