Yearly Poinsettia, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


We usually paint a poinsettia in December during the adult watercolor class.
This year we are doing two small paintings to cut and glue to see what kind of abstract patterns we come up with.  My students did some wonderful work and I feel a little bad that we will be cutting them up, but I also know that the end result will be full of another kind of discovery.
My demo is 5 x 7

Yes, I'm ready for poinsettia! This is lovely - very sharp and clear and bright. The red leaves look velvety.

I used to live on St Croix in the Caribbean. In our yard was a forest of poinsettias. Over 10' tall. Since then, they are my favorite Christmas decoration. This watercolors is beautiful! You should make it into a Christmas Card!

thank you! Yes I thought about making it into a card. I also love the different varieties of Poinsettias and can only imagine how beautiful a forest of them would look like.
