Floral .... The Nighttime Rose

[Charlie’s Mum (Maureen)]

A very quick painting in acrylic inks on black Canson paper, A5 ... done last month for the Plant Parade challenge in WetCanvas. About an hour, plus stops for drying!

Great color.

 

[Queen Bee]

Beautiful. I love the way the flower seems to emerge from the background.

 

[Grampy]

That is just a very quick painting. Well I for one would like to see some of your work when you take your time.

Nicely done. I like the quick gestures.

 

[Triduana]

Beautiful colours. Those flowers really stand out against that dark background.

 

[Charlie’s Mum (Maureen)]

Thank you all.
Steve … all my works in recent years have been done in around two hours … all for various challenges! Haven’t done a large, serious piece for a long time ….. just need to get inspired!

My goodness, that's fast! I admire that ability. When you do decide to take on something where you're going slower, you'll be a force of nature.

Great job.

Wow Maureen, this is beautiful! Love the dark background.

Love the bright flower against the dark background. It makes a very dramatic painting.

this is lovely... I also like the dark background in combination with the colors gives a muted tone and highlights the centre..

 

[sundiver]

Beautiful! Love the palette.

Beautiful colours, and really interesting to see how well acrylic inks work on black paper - very eye-catching result.

Lovely work....really captivating

ooh love it. Maureen! is acrylic ink opaque enough to cover the black paper or do you put some kind of base coat under the painting? been having thoughts of trying something similar with a dip pen.
