Hi Everyone,
Thought I would share my wip pictures of my painting "Spring Bouquet".
I also have a request of all my blogger friends. I need your advice and input. I've been invited to teach my first workshop in April and I would love to get your take on workshops. If you haven't taught one you've probably attended one--
so what did you love, what did you hate--what do you want out of a workshop. Please e-mail me or leave me comments. I'm going to compile info and do a blog post (I will give credit where it is due).
Can't wait to hear what you have to say.

| My drawing is laid out. I used Daniel Smith, carbazole violet, quinacridone purple, quinacridone burnt orange, Holbein lavender (a new fav color, thank you Carol Carter), DS Indigo and Sepia (mixed as my darks) and Schmincke cadmium yellow |
 |
| Starting to lay in my petals and bright green foliage. The background I used the above color palette. For the tulip I used Daniel Smith perminent alizarin crimson (only in the shadow areas), quinacridone red mixed with perinone orange for the bright saturated petals, I glazed just pernione orange on top after it was dry to get a really bright flower. For the green foliage in front the bright green is Schmnicke May Green, the shadow areas are Holbein shadow green |
 |
| For the center of the flower, I used Naples yellow and pernione orange both DS colors. I also used DS burnt umber and sepia. Holbein lavender (which works beautifully--just in the middle of being opaque and transparent and mixes wonderfully) |
