I removed the mask, darkened petals some more and lifted out some highlights, added color to the center with green gold and Indian yellow, used lemon, quin gold and a mixed orange for the filament. I also added a little more quin red + vermilion to the back ground. I am glad to be done, can’t wait to start the next ones, so its off to the drawing board. I hope you have enjoyed this, and I hope everyone has a fantastic night!
Continued with darkening the background some more and adding more layers of quin red and vermilion to the petals
Thank you very much, i am glad it made you think of your Grandmother, they are one of my favorites too
Krista, This is so beautiful, as are all your other watercolors. Day Lilies are my grandmother's favorite flower and she has hundreds of varieties. Thanks for the little moment to think about her with your lovely work. And thanks for the visit to my blog.
Gorgeous!!!
