Calla Lilies- Redeux

I finally was able to paint last evening for the first time in a few weeks. When doing that, I prefer to not jump back in right away with a very complicated painting, that I have to concentrate and think about too much. LOL- makes my head hurt!

I still had this photo sitting on my painting table, so I decided to paint it again, since the first one was donated to Postcards from the Ledge in Asheville, the first of this month.

Calla Lilies Again- varnished watercolor on Yupo board, 5x7 inches.




Here's the prettiest part to me, where the blue bleed into the Quinacridone Gold and Italian Burnt Sienna.



I will be offering this painting for sale unframed on ebay later this evening- here's the ebay link. If you think you want it, I would suggest bidding on it. If it's framed and goes into the show, with the show commission, it will be $200.

Calla Lilies on Blue- watercolor on Yupo board

I like calla lilies. I also like the colors of this painting- smokey grey blue, white, with touches of green, yellow, brown, and purple. It's watercolor on yupo board, 5x7 inches.

I am sending this to "Postcards from the Ledge" a fundraiser for public art in Asheville, NC.

Camelia on Clayboard- finished (finally)

I finished this little painting last night- that's 3 evenings of "daily" painting if you are counting. Clayboard just takes longer for me to build up the depth of color. 6x6 inches.

You can go back to the previous blog posts to find the reference pic and steps. Click on the photos and they will enlarge a bit.

Camelia on Day 2

I swear I worked on this for at least 4 hours last night. American Idol was on, then the news, then something on E . . . Before I knew it, it was 12:30.

Clayboard gets much lighter as it dries. What seemed close to correct last night, needs more glazes this morning. You really have to overpaint it to compensate for this fact.

It also doesn't help that I am painting at night, in a room with dark paneling, with not the best lighting (too yellow).
