If you've ever seen a certain now-famous children's movie, there is one line that defines the main character - "We have layers... like an onion." In other words, there is more to the main character than what he seems or what is visible at first glance.
This painting progressed from a very light under painting with darker paint being added on to it in layers. Once again, I had to allow for drying time in between the layers so I wouldn't muddy the color blends. I also couldn't use too much paint, as it would bury the original or base color.
Here the interchange of violets among the flowers and the greens in the vase lend itself to an overall exciting painting. The vase actually had its colors blended like what is in the painting - almost like large individual brush strokes.
Until next time,
The Happy Painter
