Magnolia Blossoms (Oil Bar Painting as of August 17, 2014)



I worked on my oil bar painting again this morning. This painting is roughly based on a photo that I took (posted here August 14, 2014). Today I went over the branches with purple. This is not the final color (though there will be purple in the branches), but purple is easy to see and will help me to get lost. Then I got started on the background with a deep blue-green. This is just the first coat (underpainting); no doubt colors and details will change. But I am getting an idea of how the blossoms will look against a dark background.
