This color palette has a hold on me right now; I want to paint everything this color scheme. I am in love with the way Opera Pink, Cobalt Blue and Hansa Yellow work together to create these really vibrant colors. So, for May, I thought it'd be lovely if we painted a very loose, wet on wet cherry blossom. There's no outline with this painting, but don't stress because trees, branches, and flowers come in all different shapes and directions. Do not even stress, you cannot mess this style of painting up.
