Floral painting update

This morning I kept working the leaves. Thank goodness there are only three but the veining pattern makes it more difficult to move along quickly. Still much more to be done until I am satisfied...

Ontario Trillium painting update

Now I feel as it this floral painting is coming to life! The sunlight partially hitting the trillium plant is starting to appear in this step. It shines on the flower and the leaf thus creating darker shadows that contrast against brighter areas.

Red Trillium pastel painting

Other than animal subjects, I also like to paint and draw flowers. This red trillium is native to Ontario and grows in my garden. The painting is done using soft pastels on green Colorfix sandpaper and measures about 6" x 8".
