Yellow Orange Tulips
Oil on unstretched canvas, 4x4 |
These glorious tulips shine in my garden like beacons of light! Their sunny, orange color is so cheerful and bright - even on a dark and stormy day! I started with a pastel sketch, and filled in the main colors for the initial block in. The next step was treating the edges - whether to leave soft or hard, pulling with the brush, then laying in with the palette knife. Next, I deepen the shadow areas with the knife, and finally pop those highlights. I like the zoomed in format of the composition - it gives the painting a dramatic flare! I am painting several of these this week - trying to capture the beauty of these blooms before they fade away, not to be seen again until next year. Painting number 837 in 837 days.
