| Thin w/w washes of aureolin, quin. rose and cobalt blue. |
 |
| More of the same for the background, with a thin glaze of yellow, pink and indanthrone for shadows on the petals. |
 |
| Branches added - quin. burnt orange, quin. violet and indanthrone. The buds are painted with greens of aureolin, burnt orange and indanthrone. |
 |
| I added a thin wash of greys in the upper right. |
 |
| I started to go over the petal shadows with a mixture of violet and indanthrone. |
 |
| I am here now. It doesn't quite say what I want it to say. Do I have the guts to go in there again??? |
 |
| Another soon-to-be-painted portrait. This is based on one of the photos I took a couple of weeks ago of my farrier. He very kindly dressed up in his rodeo gear - horse, dog and all - and I took about 50 photos. |
 |
| And another start on good, old Drake. His people liked how I softened his fur in the last one - unfortunately, I scrubbed so hard, I almost went right through the paper. That's why I am doing "Drake II". I started with a loose wash of aureolin and quin. burnt orange ... |
 |
| ... then started in with the darks for the background. To be continued!! That's all for now. Thank you for dropping by! |
