My model, growing in a patch by the riding ring. |
My drawing [and value idea] |
I masked out the flower, and applied a thin, graded wash of quin. gold, let it dry, then did a thin graded wash of phthalo blue. |
Another, more intense wash of phthalo blue |
The leaves done, using combinations of gold and blue. I didn't want them to overwhelm the painting, so they were done with thin washes. |
I started the flower with w/w applications of aureolin in the trumpet and reflected onto some of the petals, and phthalo blue on the shadowed areas of the surrounding petals. |
Some thin blue applied to the perimeter of the trumpet ... |
... which you can see better in this close-up. |
This is drawing of another narcissus I'd like to start soon. I'll paint this one with different techniques and colors. Thank you so much for dropping by!!! |
