I lifted off some of the highlighted flower tops and cleaned up the yellow petals where the reds ran into them. |

Echinacea I cropped the paper slightly to the image size 6 1/4" x 8 3/4" I added some gouache to the yellow petals and the lime green in the background. |

I noticed that the background leaves got a grainy texture when I scrubbed the paint off. The white petals were cleaned up easily from adding chinese white to them before painting. |

Tranquility - Image size 7 1/2" x 10" I tried painting the foreground with "more passion, and less perfection." The areas of white paper showing through means that self-control was used to stop painting before all the paper was covered with green. (Takes practice) Original available at my Etsy store HERE. |

I think the top, right area needed something to break up all that black space, so I added another yellow napkin. |

I didn't like how 'stiff' it looked with the colors in the lines, so I spritzed the edges of the flower with water. |

The colors flowed into the background, I let the painting dry, then I lifted off the highlights. |

After the painting dried, I started adding a dark background for contrast. |

The background is still wet. |

Day Lily (7"x 10") I deepened some of the colors while trying to keep as much as the 'glow' as I could. |
