I think I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find the time to do a painting a day. This one took a long time. I think it took 2 1/2 to 3 hours and I'm very, very disappointed with it.
The one good thing I discovered was that hair spray does work. It kept the pencil drawing from smudging, which was a big help!
I really hate painting flowers, so again I was working outside my comfort zone. I also hate pink!
These were some flowers my son and husband gave me for Mother's Day. They were so beautiful. They are starting to fade a little, but I wanted to capture them in the painting before they completely wilt away. The little glob of color in the lower right is supposed to be roses tinged in pink, but I don't think you can even tell what they are! Surely the painting will start to show some improvement soon!
