| I was visiting my sister in Vancouver a few days ago, and her gorgeous hollyhocks caught my camera's eye. |
 |
| I painted the cast shadows first, with a mix of aureolin, permanent rose and indanthrone blue. Then did some of the form shadows in a mix of aureolin, perm. rose and cobalt blue. |
 |
| I painted the leaves and stalk in different mixes and glazes of aurelin, quin. gold, quin. burnt orange and phthalo green[YS]. |
 |
| More work on the form shadows. |
 |
| I saw a lot of very soft reflected colors in the petals. I used aureolin, the pink, cobalt blue, quin. sienna and phthalo green - all very thinly. |
 |
| Here is where I am right now. It's really quite lovely and delicate, and I am loath to put in a background. What do you think? Thank you for dropping by, and your comments are always welcome! |
