Some small practice paintings inspired by a visit to the Chicago Botanical Garden in 2018. I got a nice opaque pink paint (Cobra permanent red violet light) that would be perfect.
The goal is to keep a limited palette. I wanted to stick to three colors if possible, and only introduce other colors if they are particularly necessary.
Once this dries I want to add another layer of color depth.
Colors used:
- Cobra red violet light
- Cobra Persian rose
- W&N Indian red
- W&N alizarin crimson
- Cobra yellowish green
- Cobra emerald green
I think this one is a dinner plate hibiscus flower.
- Cobra red violet light
- Cobra Persian rose
- Cobra titanium buff
- W&N yellow ochre
- W&N phthalo green (yellow shade)
Here's one I started last night. I primed the surface with yellow ochre acrylic paint and drew on top. Then I toned it with burnt umber and pale rose blush.
