Watercolor flower.  It might be finished (need to stare at it for awhile and make adjustments if necessary).  I finished the leaves, added a few more details and dark values, and added a light wash of white gouache to the background to tone it down some.

This will be used as an example at the Southport workshop.

This is the watercolor flower after class.  I finished the background and added more dark values to 'pop' the flower.  I need to finish the leaves and continue adding more dark and detail to the flower.  Remember lost and found edges as well as hard and soft edges.

This is the watercolor flower before class.  I worked on the background some more.

The colored pencil flower on dark paper.  I have continued working on the leaves and petals adding Tuscan Red for a darker value.  Remember on this flower there is a lot of use of the light peach and white to make the colors light enough on the dark paper.

This is the colored pencil flower on white paper.  I continued working on the leaves and petals and added Tuscan Red to further darken some areas.

Acrylic flower painting.  I painted value studies on the rest of the leaves using a warm green and did some glazes of blue and a warm yellow on the petals.  I started a very wet background using all of the colors from the petals and leaves.  I sprayed it and let it run off some.
