Description
Browsing through the High Hand Nursery in Loomis I spotted a crate of succulents. I considered it a challenge to paint the detail of these Hen and Chicks in watercolor.
Hen and chicks (also known as hen-and-chickens, or hen-and-biddies in the American South) is a common name for a group of small succulent plants belonging to the flowering plant family Crassulaceae, native to southern Europe and northern Africa. They grow close to the ground with leaves formed around each other in a rosette, and propagating by offsets. The "hen" is the main plant, and the "chicks" are the offspring, which start as tiny buds on the main plant and soon sprout their own roots, taking up residence close to the mother plant.
This painting was done on a full sheet (22" x 30") Arches watercolor paper.
