Plum & Lavender Orchid Study

Description

• Visual Dispersion (Mottled): The primary plum and lavender blooms exhibit “Internal Wash Mottling.” The color is dispersed in soft, uneven clusters within the petals, suggesting a “dry-on-wet” watercolor technique that mimics the organic texture of a living flower.

• Pigment Dispersion (Vaporous): The background features “Vaporous Tonal Clouding.” The lavender and grey tones are dispersed so thinly that they appear as an atmospheric mist, with no visible brush tracks, providing a sense of soft-focus depth behind the main motifs.

• Edge Dispersion (Sharp-to-Fibrillated): The boundaries of the main forms feature “Skeletal Edge Dispersion.” While the petals exhibit a soft, feathered bleed into the paper grain, the application of fine, dark outlines on the stems and leaf margins provides a crisp, structural definition that anchors the drift.
