A Bunch of Daffodils



As planned, we painted daffodils today. There were a few different kinds, which made it more interesting. They were in some sort of a square-ish glass container with beads hanging from it - I wasn't really crazy about it so I just did the flowers. This one was also a quick one, as my friend usually leaves early and she took her flowers with her again. Oh, both this one and the tulips from yesterday are quarter sheets.

Mickey - I like the contrast of the lovely daffs against the rich purple background. I like it!!

Beautiful painting! Did you paint the flowers first and then add the background...or did you block out the flowers and do the background first? I always seem to have a problem getting my backgrounds to look like I want them to look.

Thanks, Joan. I liked the purple gainst yellow too.

Carolyn - I painted the flowers first. If I were to mask out the flowers first, I think I would have gotten a smoother background, but I hate masking, plus I had to get those flowers done while they were still available. Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting.
