White Flowers 2

Yesterday, I did a painting of white flowers and after looking at it today, I decided that I would like to do another painting similar to it and make them a matching set.

I started by lightly sketching in a large semi abstract flower at the bottom right side of the paper.

From there, I added another flower on the left side, finishing slightly above the middle of the paper.

Above these two flowers I added two smaller partially opened flowers, leaving some open space at the top and on the right side of the paper.

Once again using Cobalt blue at the top of the paper I painted in the sky.

Using alizarin crimson with a small amount of the blue I painted in some areas of the petals.

Adding varying amounts of Cobalt blue and alizarin crimson together I indicated the edges of petals and the shadows.

I left areas of the white paper for the highlights.

Using various mixtures of Cobalt blue, French ultramarine blue, raw sienna, new gamboge and aureolin I painted in the various leaves and stems.

Lastly, with burnt sienna and raw sienna I put in the stamens on the larger flower at the bottom of the painting and a few on the middle sized flower on the left side.

This original 11" x 15" watercolour painting once it has been framed, will be available for $295.00.
