BEGINNER LEVEL

The woman in the frame is a reproduction of the painting by Fernand Toussaint (1873-1955) entitled "The Japanese Print." I selected it because it provided "M'Lady" either in portrait or perhaps in the reflection of a mirror in the frame. A viewer standing in front of the bouquet could easily have seen the woman on the other side of the room. If a mirror is suggested, however, a slight indication of reflection of the closest yellow rose must also be indicated at the lower right of the frame.

The four (4) projects contained on this CD, when viewed or printed, are exact reproductions of the original, printed versions. The user has complete control of the viewing process and may choose to print any or all of the included documentation, as desired. 

The CD contains the following information for viewing and/or printing for each of the seven projects:

• 79 pages of instructions
• 18 Full-Color images; Color Swatch Reference Guides (displayed in color on user's computer monitor for easy reference.
• Line Drawings included for the user to print and enlarge to the painting size of their choice.

PROJECTS INCLUDED:

Love in Bloom
SIZE: 20" x 24"
TECHNIQUE: Alla-prima, Painting from the live setup.
CONTENTS: 6 Pages, 1 Color Image, Cartoon Line Drawing.
NOTE: Recommended viewing prior to attempting this project: D-4, Floral Still Life DVD by J. Liliedahl.
This painting was executed entirely from life. An alla-prima technique was used so the painting could be completed in as short a period as possible. When flowers are part of the setup, their life span is quite limited, especially when they are illuminated by a closely placed light, as was the case in this composition.
For a demonstration of these techniques, D-4, Floral Still Life DVD by J. Liliedahl, is available.
