Caladium 'Fiesta'
Caladium 'Fiesta'
I love this Caladium as it has such a bright watermelon-pink ‘heart’ in the middle. As with all Caladiums, it can be somewhat high-maintenance, but tubers are not expensive and they are easy to plant up in pots for their beautiful foliage.
Getting the bright pink central colouring that gently diffused outwards required pre-wetting the paper to get that ‘wet-on-wet’ effect. After the paint dried, I went over the area with more colour and added tiny dots to show the pigmentation. These colours almost remind me of a watermelon, with the combination of bright green with the bright pink and the watery light green middle area.
Caladium ‘Fiesta’ is available as:
A4 giclée print (see size guide)
Pack of five A6 postcards
Pack of five blank A6 greeting cards with matching grey peel & seal envelopes.
