My progress - End of the Day:
Well, I am seeing it come together now. Did some outlining with paynes grey and added veins on leaves and the flowers. I will now begin the fun part tommorrow where I play with all my values!
I am bushed. It has been a long day man! Working this large takes so much time. I worked all day with a big brush # 15 and a no. 3 for outlining...So much longer then my florals on 40 x 50 cm canvas.
EDIT: The top flower - viewers Left - Is not really a lotus...its more like a water lilly...so I just realized that..and she will be getting changed to more of a lotus shape....Andreas also pointed out the stem just stops there behind the pad...so I will continue it down to the bottom.....He has good eyes..that hubby of mine. This will be done tomorrow...too exhausted...Have a great night!
his mornings work:
Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend. Our was quiet and relaxing with lots of bbqs...LOL.
I was up really early this morning and quite excited to begin work on my Lotus Bliss painting
So I drew the drawing on my canvas...Boy it was hard trying to copy your own sketch..LOL. And the size is 60 x 80 cm...big for me. I also bought a nice sliver weathered wood frame to go with the painting.
Then I blocked in some nice tourquise color mix for the background. Outlined in some ink on the drawing for guidance.
Blocked in color for the leaves, stems - lots of pathlo green and cad. yellow med.
Blocked in the pink now on the flowers..i went over my lines..oh well I will redefine..them.
Next an outline..in paynes grey, then I will work on the leaves...with lights and darks and modeling work. Then the flowers.
