artist’s sketch
Bonnie Jones was born and grew up on the Golden Isles
of Georgia. Her love for nature has inspired her to paint
in watercolors. While Bonnie is mostly self-taught she has
studied under several well-known artists, as well as attend-
ing Crealde School of Art in Winter Park, Fla. She is pub-
lished in several magazines and has made several DVDs.
She has been a member of SDP since 1994. Bonnie spends much of her time traveling and teaching workshops with her husband, Tom Jones, who is also a watercolor artist. Check out her website for paintings, pattern packets and greeting cards at www.cbonniejones.com. To schedule a workshop, con- tact her at cbonniejonesartist@gmail.com, or 100 Rio Grande, Edgewater, FL 32141, (407) 619-0476.
FINISHING TOUCHES
After the painting is dry go back over some of the petals across the middle with a light value of Bumblebee Yellow, and a light value of Cobalt Blue over some of the petals at the bottom of the rose. Also, if you need to mix a blue-green, combine Cobalt Blue and Hooker’s Green Dark, and add some of this color to the leaves at the bottom of the rose. This will make the rose stand out a little more.
Now look at your painting and if you like what you see, you are done. Sign and enjoy.
