Oh, what a welcome sight! Tulips Blooming!
Here is a tip for painting red tulips in the sunshine. Paint the tulips yellow first, then glaze the red paint over the bright yellow tulips. You might like the variety of the mixed colors and decide to leave some yellow as you see in the example above. It's not completely finished, but I do like what I see so far!
I can't wait to go to the tulip fields to see them in full bloom this year! It won't be long the daffodils are blooming now and the tulips are not far behind.

Oh, what beautiful tulips, Susie! I know where there are some daffodils growing, but if I want to paint tulips I have to buy some.
Susie...I am demo-ing a Bird of Paradise that was perfectly backlit in Friday's mentoring session this week. I had thought to do exactly that, paint the translucent petals and leaves with a light yellow first! I've doen that before with backlit things and it always seems to do the trick. Your tulips do look sunny and glowing!
Your tulips are delightful! How large is the work?
Beautiful painting. All of your work is nice.
