Watercolour anemones

Quick and simple painting of anemones, inspired by a demonstration in Jean Haines new book "Atmospheric watercolours". I enjoyed painting in this more calm and delicate way. It is a good exercise for a beginner in watercolours as it is only one wash, and no background to think about, which complicates it all ;) .  I don`t know if it is because it is the easy way for me as an amateur, but I am actually quite attracted to the simplicity and purity, kind of, of paintings that don`t have any "background".

I will come back to Haine`s book when I have read the whole book through. But I can say all ready now that it is a great book. The fantastic paintings and colours in the book made my heart sing when I scrolled through it when I got it in my mailbox a few days ago.
