I wasn't going to do a work in progress because I was thinking I could do this one in about a day....but it turns out to do it right I need to work on it over a few days so here is the WIP.

I have the underpainting done:

I love tulips and I love this composition already Terry!

 

[TerryCurley]

Seems like my pictures always shows promise at the early stages but then often something will go wrong along the way. Here's hoping I can keep it good on this one. Thank you Chanda.

 

[TerryCurley]

I'm going to let this dry now before I do anymore. I'm liking this...I sure hope I don't screw it up.

The texture on the edges of the petals is amazing! Looks like I could pick one for a nice bud vase.

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you karliejaye, I've been practicing doing flowers a lot lately and I think it's starting to pay off.

 

[chanda95]

It is starting to pay off. These have movement and life. Can't wait to see more.

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you Chanda, I'm loving doing flowers.

 

[leighann]

Looking good!! Love tulips!

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you Leighann. I hope to work on these more today.

It's Finished -- I think.

Here it is. I'm thinking I'm going to call this one 'Dancing Tulips'. I tried to get movement in the tulips and they look to me kind of like they are dancing.

Must admit...you've come a long way in a very short time.Now it looks like you have at least years of experience.Your evolution is amazing.It even shows parts of your personality-"dancing"- a thing that most of the artists out there do not show after a lifetime of practice...they are just plastic and artificial.I like the color balance...the striking red lines that look like lava...the flowers that look like dancing...

 

[TerryCurley]

WOW Asancta thank you so much for that praise. It is greatly appreciated because I know you are straight with me, so I'm very honored.

But this is one picture, once I've made 50 pictures of this quality then I'll feel like I own the talent and it's not a fluke.

 

[chanda95]

Beautiful Terry!!!! You really have come so far!! It's beautiful.

 

[Susan Mulno]

You have really nailed it with this one! Beautiful!

 

[TerryCurley]

Thank you so much Chanda and Susan. I truly appreciate your encouragement.

Way to go terry! It's true, they look like they are dancing >.<
