This painting is called "Blue Mystery." I just find it really romantic, and very pretty. It is very textured. It has a thick underpainting, so it really has some body to it. I really loved how this blue dark background turned out. I'm really starting to appreciate how much a real painting can't quite be duplicated. Original paintings have a special color hue and feel that cannot be achieved by a reproduction.
The color scheme with a dark background with these flowers just seemed very classic, and mysterious. The emphasis wasn't on the flowers necessarily. I'm glad that I toned down the color of the flowers. I didn't every bring out that much pink in one of the main flowers, and that was a great decision.
I'm learning that pink is a really strange color and demands a lot of delicacy, and proper use or it looks so PINK. Flowers are pink, but have a lot of orange and yellow, even green in them. I'm learning to make better decisions on what to start as the first layer of a flower petal. I watched a tutorial where they used yellow and layers pink on top. That seemed to be what I needed! So I started all of these flowers with a yellow white, and I thought that the overall look was much better than my first attempt with these flowers (previous post.)
