This is the beginning of the Daisies project. It started by wetting the paper and dropping in color keeping the yellow and light in the flower areas. I used New Gamboge, Aureolin, Cobalt, and Viridian (with a tiny bit of rose mixed in to neutralize it a little). The next step was negative painting of the background 'carving out' the flowers by working around them. I used a Viridian/Aureolin mix and dropped in some indigo and some rose. |
