Rose

Oil on canvas, 8 x 10 inches

Second Umber layer. The first (slightly blurry - sorry!) pic is of the rose's second layer, before the background was added. Obviously, the second includes the background. I am enjoying this technique much more than I thought that I would (I've never been noted for my patience - which is what this method requires!)
This layer will now need to dry, which will take at least a week, and then the 4th layer, the 'dead layer' will go on. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out already!
