After deciding on a dark blue, I began with the small areas in the flower petals. This was a time consuming process, since I could only do a few small areas and then spray or the areas got too dry. It took a while to get an idea of how long to wait for the drying process before I could spray, and I had to re-paint and re-spray some of the areas more than once to get the effect I wanted. I liken this to the salt technique – the timing has to be “just right”.
Then it was on to the flowers, which I knew I wanted to be in shades of red violet and fuschia.

Rhonda took my exact words right out of my mouth:-) I can't wait to see more of this fascinating painting.
sitting on edge of seat awaiting your next entry! Beautiful start DEB
This is absolutely fascinating!! First I'm fascinated with Japanese culture and this is right up my alley and second your process and thought process is wonderful. I'm intrigued by the concept and composition, such an amazing piece. It reminds me of a Van Gogh painting that I used as an inspiration in college http://www.terminartors.com/artworkprofile/Van_Gogh_Vincent-Japonaiserie_Oiran_after_Kesai_Eisen
Can not wait to see this one completed.
Carrie, so glad you like this. I value your opinion very much since I really admire your work. Thank you.
