yellow and blue WIP

I used only two colors for this floral being camboge yellow and ultramarine, half sheet, hahnemühle.
As you can see I always work negative and positive at the same time.
Please have a peek and any comment is welcome





This final picture I took didn't turn out as sharp as I wished, sorry !

Gilberte, I have been hoping that you would do a WIP. Thanks for this one. I love the looseness and the bold and subtle color. It's very helpful for me to see the process you use, negative and positive together.

Wonderful!


Kate

Gilberte, thank you so much for taking the time to do a WIP of this painting--it is fascinating to use only two colors, isn't it??

Gilberte I am definitely going to rate this thread a 5! I need to keep studying to see how you do it, particularly interesting is the palette proving you did use 2 colours only!

Beautiful!

Wonder what Auntie Fooks will think of the wonderful use of yellow?
