REIKO TANAKA

Passion Fruit with Seed

This is Reiko's second painting, still in progress. She has added a New Zealand Melon to the composition. Watch for the final painting in the coming weeks.



KATSUKO OCHIAI

Calla Lily

Katsuko has captured the subtle beauty and elegance of this flower well.


Cockatoo of Congo


The vibrancy of the blooms is striking in this tropical specimen. Very sensitively painted.



NAOKO YAGI

White Hellebore


A delightful study page complete with colour mapping.







































This painting was done with the leaf left drawn in the background. Naoko subsequently developed the drawing further and painted some of the leaf before moving on to her next subject. I'll post the finished piece as soon as I can get it.


Here you can see the subtle and delicate painting that Naoko is developing at an alarming speed. She has only been painting botanicals since January!
