Okay, there’s
no such thing in real life, but time for a little creative license – love this
hibiscus photo and painted it before, but wanted to try out my new Radiant
Magenta (Gamblin) and tried-and-true Persian Rose (Williamsburg). Well before I
knew it, all my favorite reds, purples and pinks were piling on. Just love the way the pinks and blues play
together.
Fearless at
this point, so went out on a limb and tried a new multi-media thing – I guess
that’s what it is called. I have a tool
that’s called an eraser – basically a rubber tipped “brush” that lets you
remove paint. In this case it came in
real handy to carve out the tip of the stamens (yellow round things), creating
a more pronounced 3-D effect. The panel was toned in
hot yellow so the carving brings it to the surface. Since that was so fun, I “hacked” up the background
to give it more interest. Use the DPW zoom function to see how fun that part
turned out!
