| I just had to get these clematis buds out of my system, and I wanted to paint something simple, austere. At this stage, I used mixes of aureolin and cobalt blue for the cooler greens, and quin. gold and phthalo green for the warmer ones, and floated them in to get a smooth look. |
 |
| I continued with those greens, as well as some steaks of brown madder for the bud tips. The tiny bits of flower showing were done with a mix of cobalt blue and quin. pink. |
 |
| The stems were painted with quin. gold and phthalo green, with quin. burnt orange and green glazed over later for the darks. |
 |
| Created more depth with more applications of the same or darker colors. |
 |
| Et voila - c'est fini! Clematis Buds 28.5 x 40.5 cm. framable $265.00 US unframed I was inspired to paint this after watching James Fox's documentary on the art of Japan. Thank you so much for dropping by!!! |
