Lupine am demo

Keep the drawing simple and remember the symmetrical form of the flower.

I know....this one has lots of mask but it will be fun :)

Start with a nice loose background and remember to make that bottom edge jagged to depict the lupine tops.

Since my green was mixed I started adding a loose wash to the bottom lupine foliage.

*Remember to make the first green wash dark enough so that it will be darker than the first masked (white) leaves when they get peeled of and painted back in.

Next I added the first layers of purples and pinks. Yes I do like my new color "Opera Rose"

Fixing a little boo boo, I lowered the middle green evergreen as they were marching solders, all 3 lined up, too similar and tidy. :) see I still do it too!!

I added some greens up into the lupine flowers ( could have added a few more)
