This is just a quick study I painted starting with transparent colors and later adding opaque colors which is taught by floral painter extraordinaire, Nancy Medina.  I used leftover paints still on my palette from another painting and actually painted directly on the palette!  

I think the 'unfinished' loose background adds to the painterly quality as well.  Something I discovered is that I really like the smooth surface of the paper vs the coarseness of canvas.  Guess I'll be changing my to smoother surfaces.  This was a lot of fun!
