"Rose Garden"
was my first attempt at painting roses on a large scale
and as part of the rosebush instead of cut and arranged into a floral arrangement.
Once I cropped a photo, I drew out the composition in vague geometrical patterns. From there it was just adding the base colours. I am pretty sure that I was painting over a painting. I will do that if there isn't that much relief on the underpainting.
After the base paint had dried, it was time to get serious and push in with the correct colours and final drawing, especially for the leaves. There was a lot of leaves.
One of the best things to paint were the highlights.
There were so many of them and it was enjoyable to see the painting come alive with the sunlight.
Almost done.
