I think flowers are my favorite part of nature. In spring, I can’t help but be so enchanted by their color, their beauty, their sweetness, their fragrance. Here is a closeup of a tulip done in oil. I used Permalba white, naples yellow, permanent rose, sap green, indigo blue, and burnt umber.
I love to paint the subtle changes in value in the petals, and also the internal structures of the flower.
This painting has a soft quality to it, and is painted mainly in cool tones.
