| I left off here ... |
 |
| I decided to go bold and purple. |
 |
| I'm doing a lot of w/w washes, not using masking. |
 |
| Now I am here. I think the next step will be to do some w/w with aureolin on the leaves, before moving into the greens. |
 |
| I actually did a color swatch. The left is quin. violet + aureolin + phthalo green. The right is quin. violet + aureolin + phthalo + indanthrone blue. I really don't quite know what the finished colors will look like - part of the intrigue of watercolor. The woman for whom I am painting this [ a very sweet dentist with whom I occasionally work] loves her blues, violets and greys. I'm hoping she doesn't find the yellow iris too jarring. |
