WC in Bloom - Sertoma ClassThis is the flower after puttin

This is the flower after glazing the petals with New Gamboge (I have glazed two of them so far) and glazing a little cobalt blue in the shadow areas.  The background was done by wetting the area to be painted and dropping in indigo, viridian, permanent rose, and new gamboge and letting the colors gently mix as they dry (note that two of the colors in the background are those used in the flower - this helps unify the composition).  The next steps are to 're-attach' the flower to the background, finish the flower parts that are not finished, adjust the colors & values as needed, and add details as needed.
