Grading the reds into yellows is slow and difficult, and I still don't have the right yellow on the base of the petals in deep shadow. I'm tempted to give up and retry this on canvas.
I like to share work in progress, random foodie notes (since I've written two cookbooks and illustrated others), and occasional past work from different periods of my 40+ years of drawing and painting.
Every Grain of Rice: A Taste of Our Chinese Childhood in America Co-written with Annabel Low, illustrated throughout with my watercolors. Winner of IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) Julia Child Award. Out of print, but available new and used at varying prices.
Don't give up! It looks great! Remember, no one else knows what the "right yellow" is anyway.
