Daffodil

Painting of a daffodil based on a photo by Sue Huss. I was trying to get enough texture in the brush stroke so I could then lay in some darker veins via a wash that would then be wiped lightly leaving the veins. Some of the brush strokes show, but it looks like it will take gel additive to get enough texture for that treatment. At the same time, I had the fall back position of using pencil which shows through as veining even though the Cadmium Yellow and Titanium White are dense opaque paints.
