Day 12 of "30 Paintings in 30 Days" is an acrylic painting of daffodils. Colors in the photo are not very accurate. The background is more of a teal than the warm blue it's showing.

Day 9: 30 Paintings in 30 Days (Sept. 2015)
Today's painting is "Hellebores" in watercolor on watercolor paper (11x15 inches). I really liked the source photo but now looking at it, the composition is not very good. Will try another one. I love these flowers!
Day 8: 30 Paintings in 30 Days (Sept. 2015)
I usually despise negative painting since I get so lost with it and don't have the patience to continue adding layers and layers. I usually use a photo reference and try to follow the patterns exactly thinking it would be easier that way. Well, not, it's easier to just do the patterns from one's head as I did in this painting of "Fuchsias" (11x15 inches). As I kept adding more layers, new leaves revealed themselves to me. All I had to do was accentuate the edges with darker washes. I think I will use this approach from now on.
