A little more work on the orchid painting, "Edge of Summer" today, continuing to experiment with color mingling, this time using more transparent colors with a long value range: Alizarin Crimson, Winsor Blue, Winsor Green and Winsor Violet. It is hard to control the exact shape using this method, but wet, juicy dark colors do have a life of their own, and time and time again forming beautiful fluid shapes...
