Red Floral (Poppy or Hollyhock petals) Challenge.




The red flower glass piece was posted on Facebook.  I have no idea who the artist was it just stated it was glass art.  I work on glass but I wanted to see what would happen if I used the glass paints on canvas and if I painted a backdrop first.   I have chosen the colors I want to use and have painted the canvas with Blue, yellow and green acrylic paints.  I am using a large gallery wrapped canvas and when it is finished I would like it to hang behind the couch in my living room.  I need some bright color on that wall.   Now I have to determine what will come next.  Do I outline the petals with the black and fill in the red and green, OR do I paint petals and then outline.  Or do I do a little of each?
I think my next step just might be to get some random circles drawn on with a charcoal.  I am not confident enough to just "wing it"...  What I see in the inspiration piece that is above the framework I also have to think about.....which I think will end up being some thin wire and doing the circular and outline work on a piece of glass and peel off.....  Challenges are fun and one learns a lot... I hope.
I will take photos as I progress ......
