Painters Tip


In painting flowers I use a basic three value mix to start. I lay in the middle value, the darkest and the lightest, very clean without blending, rather like laying in flat shapes or puzzle pieces. I then go back in with more values to subtlely change and refine the shapes and petals. It is very important to keep crisp clean color in flower painting. It is that beautiful color that viewers look for in florals. Pre-mixing your palette for florals is a great way to retain the clean color in the painting.
