Tulips Demo: "Petal Pushers" finished!

The final step, the last few green leaves, another dark magenta bloom in the foreground, the cast shadows on the wall and old oil are done. It is good to be completed and plan the next one. I hope those of you learning to paint in this medium have gained some insight into how I work and the intended effect of freshness and spontaneity.

Thanks for joining in, and a special thank you to the Splash girls in Noonday and Tyler for following along.
(Shhhhhh....don't tell anyone but these flowers are fake! Yep, they are silk)

Tulips Demo step 20

With the last tulip done in pinks (Taylor's Flamingo + permanent rose), the bulbs are done. Now to finish up the foliage using yellows and blues to mix different greens, placing light against dark and dark to light.

Tulips Demo step 19

It is time to fill in the leaves below and the remaining tulip after doing the orangey red one above that sits in bottom half of the old oil. I did do a light blue green glaze over the back wall again.

Tulips Demo step 18

Now that the three tulips pointing towards the old oil painting are done, here's a close up detail of them. Earlier I did add a vertical line for a shadow on the oil's frame.

Tulips Demo step 16

Now I must complete the middle section, so stay tuned!

Demo Tulips step 9

In this close up photo you can see where I've carried the lighter Prussian blue on down and around the blooms in front of the oil and underneath it to bottom lower left. Already I know I got too light value here so will have to glaze over it but only when it is DRY.

Demo Tulips step 2

I'm continuing on across the dry paper with a very wet 1.5" flat Robert Simmons brush, loaded with Prussian blue, phthalo green, and small amount of permanet magenta (Daniel Smith). I'm cutting around tulip tops and down in between with the darkest pigments letting the colors mix and mingle.
