      I LOVE South Africa!!! I have been obsessed with sharks and specifically Great Whites since I was 4 (don't know why, just one of those things) so I took an extended stay in SA and made the rounds between Cape Town and Johannesburg JUST to be able to go on those chartered boat trips where you get to "play" with the Great Whites! OMG IT WAS AMAZING!! They pull that seal shaped plastic thing behind the boat so you can see them breach up close, they chum the water near the boat so they come up close and you get to feed them larger chunks of fish AND best of all you get to go in the SHARK CAGE!!!!! This was about ten years ago so I don't know if those charters still exist. I also remember seeing these kijd of shaped flowers all over the place but they were white. Are those Proteas or are they a different type?

    I am from South Africa and the King Protea is our national flower. For someone that hasn't seen this magnificent flower in all its blooming stages, I must give you kudos for your painting. Its petals give you the impression that it is almost waxy with little white fluff around it. I'm not a botanist painter but I'm by pure accident busy with the same thing. Never thought I can do it but so far I'm very proud of my first try.

    My first thought when you were sketching the flower was 'ah, it's an egg in a wineglass'. And then I laughed. With that being said, this is an excellent tutorial for a flower, I too, have never seen in real life. It's certainly unusual and lovely. Thanks.

    Hi Emma,
    I have never seen a Protea flower.
    It is lovely and your painting is exquisite.
    I can't wait to try it with "my new Emma Lefebvre CRAFTAMO Brushes"! I was shovelling out my mailbox and peeked inside and there they were.....I just opened them, the box is beautiful as are the brushes....I'm looking forward to trying them,.....you have taught me a lot over the months so I think I will be able to create a watercolour that will do them justice. Thank you.🤗

    I painted a protea for my watercolor group project using a picture from Wikipedia. Man, what an interesting flower. I didn’t know that it was fuzzy and had some hairs/fibers?! It was quite challenging but I love how it turned out. Yours is absolutely beautiful.

  • @macCALICOmac

    This is my country's flower. 😜 I also didn't like them much at first, but I've seen some very pretty ones lately. They also dry them and maker gorgeous arrangements with succulents in pink and grey. Also, when everything is dead from the drought, and grey and sad... These are an absolutely vision.
    I've tried to figure out a loose Protea before. I kinda got there.

    If you good have a good floist in your go and see of there have one for you too see you. Probably be an import but still gives you an inside of saying what if that particular flower looks like and plus there's lots of beautiful wildflowers I'm at studying flowers so I know the if you get to see actual flower you get to see how the workings of a flower looks like to help you draw. Plus Stare really nice flowers they will answer questions if you have any questions on the flowers majority the time. Plus there more beautiful wild flower to see a great way to take your husband shopping with you flowers for valentines. I recommend it to anyone that doesn't know a lot of flowers If they do not have the flower white to light heaven season or if you have a Local nursery they might be able I hope he learn more about the type of flower I think it would be will Worth it to give it a look at.
