Yellow and White Freesias
6x8in oil on canvas 100.
I enjoyed a wonderful time painting these. I love the shape of Freesias.
I laid them on the table so I could cut off the ends and the informal grouping appealed to me.
I used a dark transparent wash underneath and lifted off the shapes of the flowers with a damp (Gamsol) brush and Q-tip. Adding the opaque colors is easier after that because the colors keep clean. The green on the leaves and stems are a middle value so I added them right on top of the background color.
VERY NICE! Lovely soft edges and fluid use of paint.I can imagine these smell really good
