Waldner Gardens

I just finished this mural. It was actually more difficult than I had envisioned. The clients had a painting that they loved, and they wanted me to "extend" the painting into a mural. Matching the colors exactly was a bit time consuming, but I think it worked out well. I used: Ultramarine blue, Cerulean Blue, Raw Sienna, Yellow Ochre, a tad bit of Cad. Yellow medium, Dark Burnt Umber, Burnt Umber, and Alizarin Crimson. The base color (the color I wash in over everything at the beginning) was mostly Raw Sienna with some areas of Yellow Ochre.

I love painting gardens and flowers, so this was a great project. :-)
