It was a brittle and thorny conversation, a long time in coming.

Those blooms are outstanding, Wayne! May i ask how you arrived at that hot red? That red with the green leaves pack a punch.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Lamar.

Vermillion red is the warm and permanent rose is the cold. As for mixtures a lot of them happen on the canvas but I blocked in the whole of the roses with vermilion adthn lulled darker cold mixture gently around them to form the roses with yellow added to vermillion for highlites.
