ROSES - 2
The coral rose has the most layers, beginning with some Quin. gold. I added Quin. coral, Quin. rose and then played with adding them as needed. I believe I used some indanthrone blue in the shadows.
Layerslayerslayers, just my cup of cake, yums! Such a delicate look Deb, I'm loving the white backgrounds of these demos too, make the roses pop up even more
Deb and Rhonda - glad you like the petals! Teresa - layers - you betcha! That's the key! I like white backgrounds sometimes - especially for these roses since they take center stage! Lisa - while I sincerely appreciate your comment - you ain't seen me do none a them pesky landscapes now, have ya! (i.e. I cannot paint landscapes - or portraits) so that's 2 subjects I cannot paint!! (but who's counting!!) Jeanette - flowers are easy and fun - no fear there! You can do it!
What a beautiful rose. THe colors are so luscious and rich. I came to your blog from a friends blog and have really enjoyed browsing through your work. You are a talented artist and I especially enjoy what you have to say about art topics behind the scenes. :)
Thanks Gaylynn and Joy! Hi Karsten - thanks for stopping by - now go paint!!!! Hi Crystal - your flowers are amazing and "resplendent"!! Loved your peony too! Glad you enjoyed my work - and hope you stop by often.
As you can see, my husband got into my blog and left a comment (unknown to me). Since it wasn't tooooo uncomplimentary, I'll leave it up (and make sure it never happens again!!!) The Real Deb Ward!!!
Beautiful, beautiful colour in those petals, Deb!!!! And the stem, too - but oh those petals!!

ReplyDeleteTrains, teapots, ornaments, jars, and now roses. I don't believe you've met a subject yet that you can't paint beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. The colours and transitions are beautiful.
