More green - looking a bit bilious
More green + aureolin
Mask off
Complete



I am sitting here, trying to think of the name of this flower, and I'm drawing a blank.  However, it is huge, red, white or pink, and scented. This is quite a small painting - 5 1/4 x 7 3/4 inches. It's just something I had to do to "keep my hand in", so to speak. I love to hear from you all, so feel free to leave comments!
HAH!! I had done another one before, and the name was there ... it's a PEONY!

    I LOVE seeing the process, thank you for sharing - it really exposes the patience and time taken in your amazing creations.

    I don't know how I missed your last post!? I need to check in more often - I love the texture you captured (amazing with watercolours!)

  3. Gorgeous painting!
    All paeonies have names - how about "Sultan's Delight" ? It reminded me of rose turkish delight, you see - that's a beautiful pink hue :) xx
