WIP Cone Flower Started - Yes another one!

Darkened down the thalo with some perm rose and some more Indian yellow.
Hopefully I will be able to work some more on this tonight, I will keep you posted :)


This layer I added some Indian yellow and did some negative with thalo green. I masked off a few highights I wanted to save.


Decided to do another cone flower, I love these and never tire of them, I think they are beautiful I love the way their petals gently arch down.
Started the background with a mix of cobalt and winsor yellow, and a little perm rose on the stems.

WIP Pink Day Lily Update 3 - Starting the Petals!

I started the petals, ultra blue and perm rose for shadows, worked on the stems some too (hookers, sap and sepia with a little transparent yellow here and there)
I am hoping to finish this one tonight or in the morning, I have another one on the go also. I will post my other one next.

I Love Color Charts!

I decided to do a new color chart of just my transparent and semitransparent colors. I Love doing color charts, mind you I love color. This one is 18 x 24 big enough to see when it is hanging on my studio wall. I find that making these charts really reinforces the mixing combos and what makes what. I will do a glazing color chart later. I am wondering if you make color charts, do you find them helpful,because I know I do.
