Fearless Friday, “Reflections”

 

I have been crazy for tulips lately, and that includes drawing and painting them

 

 

 

 

I found a picture of vases of tulips on a window sill and couldn’t get to my studio fast enough

 

 

 

 

I was eager to try another painting with a red underpainting {the first one I did was Pink Flower Therapy here}

 

 

 

 

I worked fast and loose with a limited palette plus some heavy gel to thicken paint

 

 

 

 

After establishing the location of the tulips I painted in the background

 

 

 

 

Filling in the negative spaces so I can go back and add more leaves

 

 

 

 

Next, back to the petals

 

 

 

 

The tulips are sitting on the window sill and reflecting in the glass

 

 

 

 

And last adding the vases with a few strokes of white and bluish gray

 

 

 

 

Just a few strokes to suggest the glass vases

 

 

 

 

Less is more!

 

 

“Reflections” 22″ x 28″ acrylic on canvas

 

 

 

Paint on and Be Fearless!
