Once my initial layer was dry I went back and added another layer to deepen the colors. Also adding some red to get some nice violets. Once this is dry I will repeat this step to get the darkness that I want.
I am an Artist from the East Coast of Canada. I started this blog to log my journey as an Artist and share my vision with others. I paint primarily in watercolor, I also use soft pastel, acrylic and mixed media. I am a realist painter who loves using strong rich colors to portray what inspires me.
I was published for the first time in the 2010 Apr/May issue of International Artist as a finalist in their flower and garden competition. My entry was show stopper, you can read about it in my March 16th post on my blog.
You are on a roll, Krista! This already looks so fresh and painterly.
