WIP: Poinsettia

I'm liking how the New Gamboge underpainting and

disappearing purple are looking after applying my

first wash of Alizarin Crimson to the big leaf.

WIP:  Poinsettia

Have a Merry Christmas!!

I am applying New Gamboge underpainting...hoping

that the translucent color will give the work a glow.

For the dark highlights I am applying the disappearing

purple technique that I learned from the book:

 Building Brilliant Watercolours by Judy D. Treman.

I found the book at my local library :-))

Work in Progress:  Poinsettia
I'm not sure I will get it done before Christmas but I'm really enjoying working on it.  (between Christmas activities)
