Roses

It was my intention to participate in "Inspiration All Around Us" painting challenge (link) in August and paint the beautiful roses of Dana Marie. And I did it, but in September. So I am late for the challenge but OK for my blog.
I did not know how to draw these little white sphere shaped flowers, do not know them in English (well, in Russian, too). They usually go with roses in bouquets. I used dry synthetic brush and methodically made these rounds on wet paper. It did not feel like the right painting action, more like nail hammering)).
Now I have plans for next entry in September. Hopefully.

I really like this painting. The complementary colors create great vibration and the green leaves have a very interesting texture.

ReplyDeleteColors are glowing and the texture you created around the flowers gives out a contrast, good composition Irina. look fwd to your entry for Sept challenge!
ReplyDeletePadmaja, thank you! I hope I will have time and strong hand to paint a portrait!
ReplyDeleteGood job with colors of the flowers and the "round things". I'm no gardener so I can't help with that at all! :-) I REALLY like your use of colors. Wooooo hoooooo!
