Winter Cherry

Hello and very welcome!
One of my favorite flowers is Physalis alkekengi, Winter Cherry. I love the colors and the shape of the flowers. 

The Winter Cherry is my inspiration today with the wonderful play of colors in orange and red. Orange and red are also colors of autumn and so I painted the Winter Cherry onto a Moos Green Brusho background.

I started with the background and sprinkled Brusho onto a watercolor paper. With a spray bottle I activated the Bursho powder and created the basic paper for painting the flowers. 

After drying a placed circles with a stencil onto background. I used 

Panpastel Rich Gold 911.5

Panpastel Copper 931.5

and fixed it.

Then I started to paint the Winter Cherry. I did  preparatory drawing in 

Panpastel Burnt Sienna Extra Dark 740.1

with the oval-shaped knife.

For the flowers I've chosen

Panpastel Orange 280.5

Panpastel Permanent Red 340.5

Panpastel Red Iron Oxide 380.5

Panpastel Copper 931.5

Panpastel TitaniumWhite 100.5

To emphasize the flowering stems, I drew a fine black pen.
