Another painting of my container plants. This one has some lovely coral-coloured pelargoniums (trailing geraniums). I wondered how I was going to translate that wonderful colour in paint. After deliberating which red to use, it turned out to be quite simple. With my last order of paints I purchased some Scarlet Lake, a colour I had never used before. When I mixed it with white, the perfect coral hues appeared. To see some WIP photos and a brief description of my process please visit my art of flower blog

I painted some of my container geraniums last year. See HERE and HERE
