Daffodil wip

Here's the finished painting. I may decide to

do a little more tweaking or chalk this one

up to experience.

I've masked off the finished cup and

started working first on the background,

then on the foliage and the lowest petal.

I started with the cup first, then masked it off

before completing the rest.

The sketch. I wound up tweaking this a little as I went along.

I enjoyed Mehaffey's technique so much I thought I'd try it again on another subject. I've used the same reference for this daffodil with graphite and really loved the results. This was much more difficult than the waterlily and I'm not entirely sure I like the results. It's all part of the learning experience, though.
