This is my second demo at my Sacramento workshop. I usually be conservative when I do demos. I don't want paint something I have not painted before. But this time is exceptional. I got several branches of camellia outside the art center. I have not painted camellia before, but they are so beautiful and I could not resist the temptation to paint them, even doing this in front of many artists. The result turned to be much better than I thought. I enjoyed it very much. After this demo I have learned that camellia is the city flower of Sacramento.
This is a beautiful painting, and the flowers made it so bright! Perhpas it is good for you to paint on the edge? It always amuses me when I do it.
ReplyDeleteThe dark background and the pale pink camellias sizzle. Love it!
