Acrylic on canvas that is not stretched. This started as a textured background. I wet the canvas, dropped in the color and moved it around (I lifted the canvas and tilted it as needed and used a brush as needed). After it was dry I determined that it was a little darker then i wanted to I did a glaze of white. After that was dry I transferred the drawing. I painted the local colors on the thin side (add a little water) - green on the leaves, rose on the flower and a grey brown on the branch. After that was dry I used white to start painting the highlights. I made a purple to start painting the darks in the middle of the flower. Only demonstrated a small amount of that part. |
