OK, I know this painting has taken a long time to finish, thanks for hanging in there. School is back in next week and I am back to my old routine of painting every morning, can’t wait!
I finished this using FUB, Quin Magenta, trans yellow and a small amount of cad yellow. It has been a wonderful process painting this big and I will definitely be doing some more this size.
I added the shadows on the petals (this is what I drew me to this photo in the first place)using a mixture of quin magenta and F ultra blue and then dropping in some more Quin magenta while they were still wet, it took a few layers to get them to the right shade. I am just finishing a soft pastel of a corn flower and will post it as soon as I am done (it is only 11×14 so I will be done quicker lol) Hope everyone has a wonderful and creative day!

Hello, Krista, I would like to see this work in its actual size it should be impressive, I like the colors and the shadows on the petals, nice work.
Hi Krista.
I have been following this WIP. Its amazing how you build these up into the final painting! Lovely!
This one really took extra effort on your part. Very delicate yet very rich. Well Done!
Beautiful! The shadows and lighting are remarkable.
