I started with the yellow mass of flowers on the right side of the arrangement and using aureolin and raw sienna I created flower shapes by painting in the negative.
Using burnt sienna I added the stamens to the center of the flowers.I wanted to put in a few larger yellow flowers on the left side of the floral arrangement.
With raw sienna and painting in the negative I created the first of the two large blooms.
A little burnt sienna was added into the shadows.
Aureolin was added to the shadow colour and a few small flowers were added around the large blooms.
With various shades of green, leaves were added throughout the painting.
