Time to paint the curving courtyard floor. The surface of the courtyard is first covered with the light and shadow pattern. Then the lines separating the tiles are drawn into the wet paint of the floor. The VIDEO above shows the entire process. Please remember, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Sunlight streaming across the courtyard will illuminate the Hollyhocks to the right of the gate. But first let’s work on the Sunflowers.
The large blossoms are blocked in with mixes of MUD + Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium + a touch of Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Yellow Medium. Then the rest of the foliage is painted.
After making the dark centers, the individual petals of the Sunflowers glistening in the light are delineated. We should finish up in the next session. I’m going to have a video showing how I paint the White Hollyhocks. Hope you’ll come back and see how they turn out! Hugs,
