Once again my brilliant reds turned into pinks, ~sigh~, oh well, perhaps it’s ? Any ideas anyone ? I used Winsor Red, Deep Hue with a tad bit of Indian Red to tone down the pink; it looks almost fire-engine red in real life, but this photo ….. PINK! Now I love pink but I wanted red, so any advice on true red watercolor rendering would be appreciated, even if it’s a different brand then I use (Winsor Newton Artist Watercolors). Also the dang lines in the background where a bit gagged-ly, I had to correct them with paint, making this a multi media piece though not by much! The name is just a play on words for the black/red (pink) hybrid roses she is seated upon. Can’t believe I painted this during the Dixie tornado storm which thank Goddess did not effect us here
Anyways,
Peace and Love to all,
Ora
