It seems I'm on an iris roll, and this shape was irresistible, |
... as was this color. |
I blocked in shadows with on orange/pink mix [both staining colors]. |
Then I started some w/w on the petals with aureolin and orange. |
I put in a thin orange wash over the background. |
Beautiful drawing as always--and I'll take your word for it as to what this painting needs. I have faith in your ability to make it all come together brilliantly.

ReplyDeleteIt seems that Iris agrees with you, you really know how to tame such a difficult flower. Looking excellent . Wish you a lovely day, hope the rain stopped! xox
ReplyDeleteLooking good. Will be nice to see the finished work!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is looking fabulous Kathryn! Bring on more irises, you paint them beautifully! :)
ReplyDeleteKathryn that iris is stunning! So buttery and rich. I was catching up on your blog and the last iris you painted was gorgeous as well. I hope all your mud dries up soon, I can imagine what a mess all that is.
ReplyDeleteYour irse is coming along great and I really love what is happening in your background. Great colour and really great effects. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love seeing how you go about your painting process. The colour is stunning! Looking forward to seeing it all finished :0)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more Kathryn! I really like the background washes you put in.
ReplyDeleteP.s. Thanks for commenting on my blog about the "rescue". I know I was to be in that spot and that moment in time just for that purpose!
