Starting the under-colors for the dress. Trying to figure out the red/burgundy effect we'd like. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Back to work on the new portrait. We're trying a bright pink undercolor to see how that works. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

The old upside-down trick for portraits. Getting a better idea of how the features are working. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Outlining done on the new portrait. We usually outline in red for some reason. Red seems to add vibrancy underneath. But Suzette decided to go for blue this time. We'll see how that affects the painting. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

This new painting goes well with the older one of sunflowers. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

I think this is finished. It's hard to tell, but the reds and violets were hard to dial in properly. I like them now, but it took a little work. And the texturing of the petals is fun, too. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Adding more texture, and red under the violet. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Working more on the inner petals. The different shades of violet with the reds underneath are fun. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

This is 36x48 inches, so there's a lot of space to get textures in there. More layers of purple and red. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Adding layers of reds and purples to this sweet pea flower. It's starting to work. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Violet and purple looking much better after several coats. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

All the texturing paint underneath has made the substrate less porous. So this violet paint isn't covering as well as it should. This is going to take a couple layers. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

I think this is enough texturing for the new painting. I believe they're sweet peas. Deep purple. They ought to go well with the bright orange sunflower painting. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Starting the background. Using some texture, which I don't usually do but I did it in the Sunflower painting so thought I ought to try it here as well. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Did a painting of sunflowers years ago from a photo by David Hayes. Going to try another, probably predominant in purples. 40x60 inches. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork
