Abstract Lotus Flowers Mixed Media Watercolor Painting

This artwork is an original painting, likely execution on heavy-weight watercolor paper, featuring three stylized blue lotus flowers rendered in an expressive, abstract manner. The composition centers on one large lotus bloom flanked by two smaller blossoms at the bottom, set against a vibrant, atmospheric background of ochre, yellow, and earthy brown tones. The blue petals are outlined with a white resist technique, possibly using masking fluid or white gouache, creating a crisp contrast against the soft washes of the background. Notable features include 'blooms' and 'backruns' characteristic of wet-on-wet watercolor techniques, as well as splatters of white pigment that suggest falling water or light. There are no visible signatures or maker's marks on the face of the work, suggesting it may be a contemporary amateur or student piece. The paper appears in relatively good condition, though there is a visible vertical crease or ripple on the right side of the sheet, and the left edge shows perforations typical of a spiral-bound sketchbook. The color saturation is high, indicating the use of artist-grade pigments and a confident hand in watercolor layering and negative space management.
