| Drawing I made for class. I decided to leave out the leaves in the painting. |
 |
| I used four colors throughout - aureolin, quin. pink, brilliant orange and indanthrone blue. I started a few of the petals to see how the colors would flow together, and then painted the cast shadows with a mix of pink and indanthrone. |
 |
| The petals were all done with the wet-in-wet technique. |
 |
| Then I started working on the form shadows, again doing them w/w. |
 |
| The centers were done with a dark violet. |
 |
| I decided the pink in the upper right flower needed more intensity to make it stand out a bit more. And now it's done :) I REALLY needed something BRIGHT to paint. I may end up playing with screamingly bright colors all winter! Thank you so much for dropping by! |
They are perfectly beautiful. and look like happy Hawaii flowers... plumeria.,,, i can smell them

In your drawing you had lines (drizzles?) coming out from the flowers to the bottom but you elimated that in your painting - was that a conscious decision or just another instance of no background? The color is amazing in this and I'd love to see you really go crazy with these bold colors - so vivid you can almost taste them - it would give us all some "eye candy" for the dreary winter days ahead!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, Kathyn! You paint bright colours and I'll come and look at them when I need it! :)
ReplyDeleteWell you make it look so simple, Kathryn. Isn't that the sign of an expert? Wonderful images
