Peach Rose - 1st colour layer

Oil on canvas, 8 x 10 inches

Well, this layer took me all day to do - so much for me saying it was quicker using this technique in my last post about this particular painting! I'm happy with how it is coming along though, which makes a change! It still needs another layer, and now I am looking at a photo of it, rather than staring at the real thing close up, I can see that I need to soften a lot of the edges, and bring the front petals further forwards. A job for another day though I think!
