MAYBE VIOLET IS NOT MY COLOR?

 


Well, shoot!

This one is so flat.  I did try darkening areas and lifting areas but it just didn’t seem to make much difference.  Maybe it’s the colors used?  No, I think I’m missing something here in trying to paint irises - you want the curvy shapes and it should look more delicate than this…

Okay, one more try and then I’ll give up for a while and let this subject rest until I can work it out.

maybe try something else that would use the purple paints?

Yeah, think it’s the shape of the flower as much as the color - but somewhat the color, too…need to be more creative with mixing other colors into the purple.

I like this stylized approach ... it's more about the contour and the colors than about the modeling. The little cracks of white are really nice too!
