Wow. Total mess. worked on the flower on the left trying to reshape it. It had so much paint it was silly. Same with the one in the middle. After a couple of hours I scraped both of them back. I'm using open acrylics, so I can do that. Sigh. I used a mixture on the top left one that seemed to be working for the shadows. Cad yellow, hansa yellow, quin gold and a little ultramarine and some white I think. Tried to recreate that on the other two and it totally didn't work. After scraping back the bottom two, I decided to do the whole flowers in the shadow color, then come back over the top with the lighter colors. So I used Hansa yellow, cad yellow lemon and cerulian for the outside petals and cad yellow, quin gold,a little white and some napthal red for the centers. I came back on themiddle flower with cad yellow, hansa and some white to make the light parts of the center. Then Juli and Tricia arrived so I stopped. We had a lovely day making necklaces and bracelets with beads. I bought a bunch of them months ago because I couldn't find any jewelry I wanted to buy. I don't usually wear much jewelry, but it seemed fun to wear it to work for a while. Well, I didn't finish much because it was cutting into painting time! :P But we had a great time today, so it was all good! Tomorrow is plein air day, unless its raining, so I may not get back to the daffys for a few days. My plan though is to come home from work and spend an hour or so anyway. That never quite works out because Bill wants to have dinner right away. Ah well. We'll see how it goes. it rained today, so I may be in the studio after all. Adding the lights and doing some more work on that middle one. Overworked much ?! Pttthhhh.
