My Amaryllis just bloomed, so I had to paint it.

HI, I bought this amaryllis bulb on sale after Christmas. I've never had one this color and just love it. I painted it on masa paper. First I drew it , then wet one petal added some color, using Red Rose Deep and Cad Yellow Deep for the peachy color and just Red Rose Deep for the pinker color.The green is Cad. Yellow Light and Viridian, and Cad Yellow Deep and Viridian. All of these paints are Da Vinci Watercolor. I wonder if I should put a background to it. What do you think?? Hope you are warm and painting. love to each of you,Diana
PS Cupcake , our kitty, went to the veternarian on Monday for her first visit. She is a female, well ,and Dr. Bailey said "She's Perfect." She hid for the rest of the day and only came out when John got home, then would not look at me. I was the one who took her to the vets!! ha ha..
Diana, your amaryllis painting is stunning! I would leave the background white.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol, I did.
DeleteCats do hold a grudge, don't they? LoL The amaryllis is just stunning, Diana. I love your backgrounds but for some reason the stark white background just sets this beauty off to perfection.
ReplyDeleteSherrie she finally warmed up.. ha ha.. I did leave it, thank you!
DeleteOoh, so Sadie has a friend? How sweet... Hope they get along! Your flower is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell we still have work to do on the friendship part!!! ha ha
DeleteBeautiful amaryllis, they are such gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteCats are funny animals.
Thank you Celia, they are indeed!
DeleteSo love the flower. Backgrounds are always a tortured question for me. I'll go back and forth with it and usually I don't .
ReplyDeleteyou on the other hand , have always been good with backgrounds.
good that the kitty is healthy. Sadie has a new toy.!
Those thin thin lines, how did you make them? It is beautyful. I think wet in wet background without details maybe? Not to take the eyes from the pretty flower.
ReplyDeleteCatharina. It is on masa paper that makes the crinkles but the lines in the petals I draw on when it is wet with a pencil. It is so delicate, Try it and let me know how you like it! love to each of you dear friends,Diana
