Fuchsia Again

A few weeks ago, Peter gave me a small amount of Quinachridone Purple by Daniel Smith to try out. I painted a purple skirted Fuchsia, and said at the time that I thought parts of it were a bit heavy and the bottom half did not match the top half, as I used up all the sample and had to mix my own as near as possible. Since then I have acquired a tube of this pigment for myself and decided to have a second go at the painting, and make it appear more fragile, like the actual flowers. The painting was done on 'Leonardo' (I am determined to use it all up!) with my usual palette of colours, mainly Quinachridone Purple and Magenta, and Opera Pink.

                                   

                                                                'Fuchsia'  26cm x 36cm

Although it is great to paint sometimes with really bold watercolours, I do prefer this version.

    Thank you Lorraine. I constantly expect viewers to get fed up of flowers, but everyone is very complimentary, so I assume they enjoy still looking!

    I never get sick of flowers and certainly never get sick of your renditions of them. Another beauty.

    BEAUTIFUL work throughout! I especially enjoyed the San Fransisco scene, but all the florals are equally nice.
