Description
Blackthorn, or Prunus spinosa, spring flowers – digital painting made from a photo where I made some AI inpainting, edited the result, and at the end I added watercolor painting texture. This painting captures a branch of blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) in full bloom, rendered with a watercolor effect that gives the image a soft, flowing feel. The white blossoms are clustered tightly along the dark twigs, with hints of fresh green leaves breaking up the rhythm. Each flower is detailed with fine yellow stamens, suggesting both delicacy and energy. The background blends into cool greens and blues, giving the flowers the spotlight and helping the entire piece feel alive with the mood of early spring. There's a natural rhythm in the placement of buds, blossoms, and leaves that feels spontaneous yet intentional, like a study of nature in motion. Prunus spinosa, called blackthorn or sloe, is an Old World species of flowering plant in the rose family, Rosaceae.
