Colours used permanent red (or cadmium), lemon yellow, cobalt blue, sap green
Sketch out the composition, look for interesting negative shapes between the flowers
I have added some tiny masked areas to use as stamens. Paint wet in wet allowing the paint to run using lighter and darker tones. Try adding sap green for a nice dark red |
You can either add leaves at the same time or paint in all the flowers the add the greens |

Amarylis have thick dominant stalks when drawing in the stalks make sure that they don't meet in a V at the botton of the composition |

Cheat a little by putting in other leaves over the top |
This is not looking great as a composition. Too much of a V shape. Paint the leaves in different colours and tones |
