Cardoon
This is a 6.5" x 4.5" watercolour of a cardoon, on Arches 140 lb. rough, using Winsor & Newton Antwerp blue, permanent rose, new gamboge, and cobalt blue. Comments and critique welcomed.

Re: Cardoon
Hi Katherine - thanks for your kind comments - I had fun doing the background - I usually hate doing backgrounds! Betty

Re: Cardoon
Hi Kay- a cardoon is a relative of an artichoke, both of which belong to the thistle family. Betty
