TWO RED ROSES



Have not painted new work of late but did manage to finish the Trevi Fountain I posted recently.


So thought you might like to see what we did at last Thursday's ladies' art session I hold in my home weekly. Two of the ladies coincidentally brought red roses to paint, so I joined them and gave a little advice here and there. When they all left I sprayed the painting with my fine mist spray that came with my Artelier acrylic set, letting the colours run and adding some droplets of red, yellow and blue to strengthen the base, spraying and tipping the paper as I went. Resulted in a more interesting background than the plain white paper.


So thats it for now. I have some work to do for Christmas so hopefully will have a quieter couple of days to get down to it.

That really added extra visual interest to the painting of these lovely roses!

I like the contrast between the detailed roses and the misty background.
