Love the sponteity of this painting with the sweeping curves, line , and brushwork
Claudio emailed: "Wow your Lilies sketch is very 'alive'. Just wondering how you did the black background if you can share that."
Thanks, Claudio. First I painted the sky background in Prussian blue. Then I glazed it twice, painting each glaze with a mixture of Prussian blue and Payne's Gray. Since it was 300 lb. heavy paper it required lots of water. By the way, the white Amaryllis blooms sure look like white lilies, eh? -Bruce
