painting brilliant tulips 15

Mona Pendleton | Thursday, July 28, 2016 @ 6:47 AM | , ,

Hi there! It's been awhile...I hope all is well with you. I'm taking a painting 5 week e-course called Painting Brilliant Colors with one of my favorite artists ~ Nancy Medina. I fell in love with Nancy's use of brilliant colors and impressionist style. Today I have brilliant tulips to share which was from week one's lesson. I have a lot of practicing to do...I think the tulips look more like roses and I really don't like the shade of the lightest green leaves because I think I mixed too much yellow in it. This sample was painted on a 12" x 12" gessoed canvas board. Practice, practice, practice...


Here's my second attempt on an 8" x 8" gessoed board. 



I'm linking up to this week's Paint Party Friday:
Thanks so much for visiting ~ I hope you have a great day!
Be Sweet ;)

Hope you're doing well too Mona!! These are both lovely. I like that you brought the aqua color from the vase up into the floral mix, it draws your eye through the whole painting. Very pretty!

your first one? OMG. You are totally a natural and your lighting is impeccable. You are your own worse critic, I would have guessed this to be the instructors painting. Love the flowers.
