Having blocked in the background, I proceeded to paint the petals of the flower.
The Petal on the left blocked in
Petal on the right blocked in and refined
Further refinement of both petals
Subsequently, I painted the rest of the petals, added the the red-orange "beards" and refined the stem and the background. The whites of the flowers have also been painted with warm and cool variegated colours.
This completes my rendition of the Iris in Acrylic. Remember a painting is viewed from about 6 feet away rather than a few inches away as on a computer monitor. You can compare the watercolour version of the Iris from the previous blog and this image.
