reds

Daily watercolor painting #154
approx 4x5 on cold press
Today's painting goal began as a study in values of red after reading an inspiring quote on an art blog this morning about letting color speak. After many attempts to push the contrast of red to paint flower petals I decided to crop a piece of an image for an example of values of red using burnt sienna and purple added to cadmium red. I'll be trying this exercise again.
