I think I will give it a try larger like you did...but I still want to work on the red ones! Thanks for the tip!

This is t...Gail, thanks for the positive feedback!<br /><br />This is the first poinsettia painting I've ever done. I looked for a white or pink plant to buy and set up to photograph but couldn't find one at that time. I ended up with red which, for me, is a hard color to paint! It was easier to do because I zoomed in one one flower instead of a group which always appeals to me!<br /><br />If you are still struggling with your painting, try a white flower. They are glorious the way that surrounding colors reflect into it making it fun to paint!<br /><br />I'm glad you liked it!<br /><br />Love, Kittiekathleen Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612259649889058057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765157828257175795.post-38902883222714845582012-12-18T08:38:40.848-08:002012-12-18T08:38:40.848-08:00Oh Kitty....this is the most beautiful poinsettia ...Oh Kitty....this is the most beautiful poinsettia paintings I've ever seen! I started one and have been struggling with it and even thought "hmmm, I wonder if Kittie has ever painted poinsettias before"! And then...here it is...this truly gorgeous painting right before my very eyes! Your reds are amazing and the light in the lower left corner is wonderful. This is award worthy!!
