Today I worked mainly on applying the second wash of colour to my very yellow poppies :) I laid in some vermillion and cadmium red to the appropriate areas, darkening some sections more than others as appropriate. I have to say that I really like the picture way more than the actual painting! Maybe it's because I can get too close to the real thing and can see all the problem areas, but in the picture it all looks much cleaner. Anyway, already I can see some spots that I will need to bring more attention to next time.
The left poppy is moving along quite nicely I think. The right hand side of the right poppy, as well as the bottom-most petal are going to need more attention. These areas should be darker and show more red, less yellow. I will also need to start thinking about how I will be adding some cooler colours to move some spots into the back more for depth. Then I will draw in the flower centers and start considering them more closely.
Things are definitely moving in an exciting direction now though!!
