I meant for the background to be more pinkish, but I do like the warmth. The vase is a mix of Bordeaux and Burnt Sienna, not sure any of the red shows though. The other colors are the same as yesterday. Turner jaune brilliant (red), yellow ochre, Naples yellow and cerulean, and cad yellow. The centers are spidery, like mini lightning bolts. The effect of wet color spreading into drier color. They actually dried that way! Usually the paint continues to spread and that effect is lost.
I started one of the classes I purchased on Udemy. Painting abstract landscapes in watercolor, with Jean Lurssen. It is pretty basic, but she did help me see things differently. I am looking forward to putting those lessons to use. I also purchased her class on painting dramatic skies.
Right now classes are on sale, starting at $11.99! Take a look, and if you purchase through this link, I will earn a little something towards another class. (Thank you kindly.)

As I read your description of the warmer color palette you chose, it makes me think we were in sync across the miles as I was doing a portrait with same colors. Love the mixture of colors in the vase and how they set off the golden flowers!
I admire your ability to write about your work. I’m always at a loss for words. I don’t know how you do it (esp an entire paragraph).
Only a few days left of the challenge! Go, Sheila!!
LOL 🙂 Aw, thanks for that Katie 😉 You know I have long been an admirer of your flowers and birds and portraits and landscapes. And everything. And your ability to get so much done!!
great colour on the vase Sheila and the blue is a nice contrast. I look forward to seeing your works from those classes you are taking.
Thank you Val ? Happy creating to you ?
Love your classic flowers in vases! I think the orange background is great! Love it when the paints do their thing!
Thanks Carol 😉 I do love watching the paint move and meld. Have fun creating my friend 🙂
