RED PERIOD PART 2

Here's the next batch of red challenges that I received, when I was pondering what to paint with my new Daniel Smith Pyrrol Red. I call it my bright red period, as the colour is a really hot red. Semi opaque and very like Cad Red really.  The subjects that people came up with were a real challenge as you will see.  So here are the next few for your perusal and cogitation.
 Red knickers challenged by Beverley Wells (who did a super pair if you check the next but one blog to this)
 Red Poppy also by Beverley Wells, and Carol Hodge.  I think this is the best flower painting I have ever done.  I surprised myself with this one and actually enjoyed painting it too.
 Slightly muted red post box from Carol Hodge.  This is from a photograph of mine from the Lake District.

Red Rose, not my favourite, didn't like painting this at all but here it is for you to see.  Challenge by Ngaire Magalotti from Australia, who thought that the roses in my garden would be lovely to paint at this time of year.

One more batch to bore you with later.

Have I finished my red period you may hopefully ask? Well maybe .......

No comments required, I am just sharing my challenges with you.

Have a red hot weekend everyone.

  3. My favourite are the knickers! I love the colour red, looks a lot like the colour vermillion I use.

    1. I haven't got vermillion but if it is a hot warm red then it probably is. Daniel Smith has his own names. Oh knickers!

  7. Du rouge, encore du rouge, toujours du rouge. Du rouge flamboyant, chaud et vivant. Une bien jolie étude de cette couleur que je trouve si difficile à manipuler.
