Demonstrations of a Tulip



 

 

 

 

  This is a rough drawing, showing basic layout of a Tulip.   Clock was placed on painting to show you the time frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Here I turned the painting upside down wanting darker   color at the base of the petal.  Permanent Alizarin Crimson.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Second darker coat over the wet one.  Painting only about   50% of the first color.  Let it run down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Third coat, paint only above 50% of the second coat (still all   wet).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Now introduce Cobalt Blue.  Don't fuss it, let it just run down   on its own

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Start second petal, repeat previous steps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Repeating steps.

  Time looks about 7 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  First color yellowish on leaf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  All leaves had a weak coat of Yellow, then Cobalt, Antwerp   mixed with Aurolin, mixing on the paper not palette. Everything   is wet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  15 minutes has passed.

  Introducing more paint to areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Darken up some of the shadows on leaves

  Also add Cobalt Blue into Permanent Alizarin Crimson on the   petals.

  Was hoping to finish this in 30 minutes (not going to happen).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Adding finishing touches

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Wet the background, drop in the Red, Blue and mixture of Blue   and Yellow.

  Drip Red dots on lower right, drop in salt with help of wind   blowing it all overthe place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finished Painting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After painting the palette looks a little untidy.
