I was recently asked by my hairdresser who also sells may art would I paint some seasonal flowers. he particularly wanted daffs and so here are some I did recently – with the build up of washes to show you how I did it.
Each was was allowed to dry before I rewet each petal and added stronger mixes of the same colours.
Here are some items that I created using the scanned originals – I hope to have captured the bright and fresh essence of each of the four daffodils I painted!

Gorgeous work
Thanks a lot Mary – Spring inspired me! What a re you working on?
Currently I’m doing a charcoal seascape for my Thursday drawing project, I worked a bit on it this weekend and am loving this medium. Several landscape scenes that I’m just starting in oil pastels – hope one to be done this week.
You’d be happy to know that our daffodils are 4″+ high already, so I’m loving your theme.
Charcoal is very poetic isn’t it – do let me know when you post your finished work and wow – those daffs are pushing!
Will do Alison – my choice for medium is oil pastels, but charcoal has caught my eye and I’m enjoying the whole process of exploring. Will be posting the seascape charcoal this Thursday. Have a great rest of the week.
There’s value in being a beginner in everything -0looking forward to seeing it -0
