This tulip painting looks deceptively simple but it was time consuming and challenging to paint. I found the giant tulip on the left to be particularly challenging since I had such a large area to cover. The orange areas on the tulips required several washes to create an intense color. I painted the yellow areas first and then washed the orange on top; however, the next time I will reverse the process and paint the dark orange first and then apply a yellow wash on top. Each painting is a learning process.
This painting is for my sister with much love.
Just beautiful,!! I need say no more!!

Thanks, Elena. Any opportunity for me to slap some serious color on paper is a joyful occasion.
There is such a lovely warm glow to the colours of the tulips – beautiful 🙂
Thank you, Caitie. I chose the color scheme because orange is one of my sister’s favorite colors.
Beautifully done 🙂
Thank you Miss Shree!
Wow, so pretty! I’m not sure why you think some of these things look simple – they do not! (To me, anyway. Haha.) So beautiful with that large one in the foreground. And then those smaller yellow ones. Just lovely!
Thank you, Cindy, for your constant encouragement and lovely comments.
I’m sure the big tulip was a challenge because I think big objects are more difficult to nail than small objects but the result is really great.
Thank you, Francesca. I did find the large areas more difficult to paint!
It’s just so beautiful!
Thanks so much!
