Both of these involved negative painting, and the yellow rose (the same rose that I painted traditionally in a previous post), involved designing a colorful abstract background. For the abstract rose I used new gamboge, permanent rose, and thalo blue. For the leaves, I used new gamboge, permanent rose, sap green and cobalt blue. Both are 11 x 15 on Arches.

Both really beautiful, glowing! This is a technique that I am only beginning to try--hard for me to wrap my head around it ... but it looks, from your paintings, to be worth the effort!
I love leaves/twigs/berries and this seems like a great technique to paint them. Thank you.
Thanks, Laura! It is definitely worth the effort - keep trying!
Beautiful job on both of these. I love the touches of green in the yellow rose. The leaves, berries, and twigs make a nice subject.
Thanks, Joan! I need to do more like this.
I really like both of these. Beautiful work. And I really like the negative painting.
