It seems dandelions in paint are as hard to escape as dandelions in the garden are! Once I started thinking of them I was surprised to come up with several different ideas for colours and compositions so I am going to explore more in the next few weeks, see what I can come up with!
Here is one more I've done, this time sticking to a cooler palette of colours. I really love these shades of blue and green together!

Your dandelions are nothing short of miraculous! Very beautiful and literally stunning as I can't imagine even approaching this subject in watercolor--though watercolor does seem the perfect medium for these delicate orbs!
This is a delicate beauty! --Could you tell us how you you painted the beautiful orb with all the details??
Thank you so much Laura!
Meera, I use masking fluid applied with a ruling pen, which allows me to mask very fine lines. It's quite easy really, just a little time-consuming! Thank you!
Thanks Ruth! -- I will look into it. toothpicks etc never worked for me and this looks like the ideal tool! Now if i can order a heavy dose of patience along with it....
i have tried a syringe broke needle off.and dilute masking fluid appear to work fine
