Two Vases of Freesia
5x7in oil on canvas board 90.
This piece was a fast exercise using simple rectangular shapes with the flowers having the only curves.
A brush and palette knife was used with a very limited palette of Cad Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine blue and white.
First I mixed up a purple in two hues...one more red and the other more blue. Then I added these purples to the yellow to make the ocher and sienna colors. The yellow of the flowers has a touch of crimson added plus the purple for the shadow. The blue/purple was mixed with yellow to create the greens.
This was much more fun than painting red and green but I am still trying to do the holly painting. If at first you do not succeed...
I love this painting, Julie!! Gorgeous colors...Happy Holidays!!
