Flower mosaic oil painting update

Monday afternoon's painting class was spent working on the impatiens in the  lower right square.  A little more work is yet to be done on them and petunias.

Mosaic of flowers in oils update

Original concept.

First painting session.

The photo on left shows more accurate colours.  It all depends on the lighting.

New painting - a mosaic of flowers?

Monday afternoons are bliss!  It's time for oil painting classes and today I started a new painting.  After the brooding "Storm clouds" I was in the mood to paint something bright and fun.  

I found these photos of flowers in a magazine, cut them out and arranged them in a way I liked and stuck them on two sheets of A4 paper with the idea of painting a mosaic of flowers.  It is my goal to paint in a less detailed way than I normally do with this painting, but old habbits die hard so we'll see.  Anyway I might use this blog as a visual diary of my progress.

Todays progress was partial blocking in of the canvas.  I love this stage of painting because it's just colours and basic shapes, nothing is too precise.

There's oodles of work to be done yet but man, did I have fun!  

Happy creating and crafting everyone.
