Flowers, Vase of roses, Ann Hyde


You wouldn't believe how quickly I drew this, about 30 seconds,

but then I think that helps keep it loose.

The adding paint took a little longer, especially as I went over it

with stronger pigment before the first had dried (that way it blended).

The vase and the shadow were the same technique, although I let the paint

nearly dry (this is where I had to be careful and make sure the paint

I was adding on top was a thicker consistency than the first ....otherwise you 

get blooms!  ...oh, we're drawing FLOWERS, so

perhaps blooms are appropriate, lol.
