Flame-of-the-Forest Spray

Flame-of-the-forest in flower, with dissected bloom and seed pod. A botanical watercolour study.

How this was made

This piece began with a written instruction alone, with no photograph. The instruction is kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.

THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS

PROMPT

POSITIVE:
A botanical watercolour plate of a single flowering spray of flame-of-the-forest, Butea monosperma: clusters of curved, beak-shaped blossoms in saturated orange-vermilion on velvety dark olive calyces, one trifoliate leaf, and a small dissected flower and seed pod drawn separately below. Scientific botanical-illustration precision, fine sable-brush line and smooth graded washes, specimen centred on warm white paper with wide empty margins, soft even light, no background. No text, no signature, no border.

NEGATIVE:
(none)
