Selective Underpainting
I love the silhouette shapes of these calla lilies. The trumpet-like white flowers stand out from their surroundings.
I use a variation of the underpainting strategy. I decide to do an overall wash of yellow selectively under the leaves only, not under the flowers. That groups the foliage together as a mass, allowing the flowers to stand out.

I allow the area inside the flowers to stay bright white until late in the process, and then I place pale washes of transparent watercolor over them.

So in summary: 1) Careful drawing. 2) Background leaves painted over yellow watercolor underpainting. 3) Transparent watercolor on white lilies.

This demo is not part of the new video, Flower Painting in the Wild—I just didn't get much coverage on this one.
“Of all of Gurney’s terrific series of “In the Wild” videos, Flower Painting in the Wild is the best.” —Matthew Innis, Underpaintings
