I have literally hundreds of flower paintings, but I decided to just post NEW ones. Everyone is doing such a beautiful job on this topic. I like challenges, and the Facebook Group, "Reference Photos for Artists" (FREE) gives us a challenge each month to paint from a photo. This month's picture is:
and I really tried at first to do it realistically, but I do not have that hot pink color, and the petals just were a jumble for me, so here is my interpretation.
Very pretty. I love zinnias.
ReplyDeleteoh it is still pretty Penny. I know some of my colors did not match neither when I did paintings.
ReplyDeletelooks like a dahlia
ReplyDeleteSuper flower painting. Did you use white gouache for the whites? Quin red mixed with quin magenta (W&N) might make a bright colour. I'll have to try this mix and see.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Penny!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting Penny!
ReplyDeleteLovely work....i like the background too.
ReplyDeleteLOL. The painting text said Zinnias and Dahlias and I do not know the difference. Thank you, Linda, for that clarification. I will have to change the listing. I did use goache, Maggie, because I almost always lose my whites when doing watercolor. Thanks for the suggestion of mixing colors. I will have to see if I have those colors, but I think not.
ReplyDeletePenny, lovely job on this!!! I love how you did all the petals especially those clustered in the center!
ReplyDeleteone is a dahlia and one is a zinnia, the one you painted is a dahlia and they are hard to capture due to the depth and you do it so well
