My palette is composed of the following: quin gold, brown madder, permanent magenta, Hooker's green and a touch of pthalo turquoise.
I am using Fabriano 140 lb Soft Press and so far, I really like it: it has just enough tooth while letting the paint spread very smoothly. It is also a nice bright white.
Have a nice evening!
This is going to be gorgeous, Christiane. Don't you love phalo turquoise. I really love orchids and this composition is so typical of their character. Hurry up and paint some more!!
ReplyDeleteChristiane, this is turning out great. I have never painted an orchid either .. go figure lol I can't wait to see it finished. W&N Quin Gold is one of my favs :)
ReplyDeleteMollie, you are the one who made me discover this phtalo turquoise a few weeks ago...I love it!
ReplyDeleteKrista, I seem to be using this W&N Quin Gold in everything these days.
I am going out tomorrow afternoon, but will try to get this finished by Saturday morning.
Thank you both for your well-appreciated support.
This is coming along so beautifully. I have never painted an orchid either - looks pretty challenging to me! I am anxious to see this one completed!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Mollie - this is going to be beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteThis is coming along beautifully. I am sure it will be another winner.
ReplyDeleteBarb,I probably should have started with a single orchid before tackling this. The main orchid in this painting would probably be nice on its own.
ReplyDeletePat, I certainly hope that you and Mollie are right:-) Thank you!
Leslie, thank you for stopping by. I am not as confident as you, but so far so good:-)
