This plant called out to me as a possible poured painting, so I just went with that thought in mind. I tried to get the colors more vibrant than the actual plant.
I misketed the dots where the white flowers were and then poured swirls of color in layers, allowing some to drip off the side of the canvas.
After the paint dried, I poured some misket and allowed some of that to go off the canvas edge.
I then drew in foliage, approximating the location of the leaves in the photograph, but using shapes that had appeared in the paint as edges of some of the leaves.
Then I added more paint and began adding some darker paint to define the leaves.

Thank you, Deb, for sharing your process. This is looking very good. I love your pinks!
So interesting to see how you begin your lovely paintings!
Thanks guys - I don't usually paint this small (11x14) so hope it turns out OK!
really interesting to see how you go about a painting like this - I would love to be able to paint like this - have never tried pouring, not really sure how to do it!
Hi Sharon, glad you found my blog and hope you come back. Your photos are amazing!
