Dragon Flowers (Snapdragons) (2015)Oil painting
by Daria Galinski

These exceptional flowers called dragon flower (also known as snapdragons) I bought in flower shop near the house and decided to paint it as soon as possible.

Although, dragon flowers are the wildflowers, I find them very fine and elegant. These really amazing small flowers have very interesting unusual form of petals, with color gradient from saturated pink to white.

So, I painted this middle size etude from nature. As usual, for background I used light blue sky tone, for flowers I applied carmine, titan white, lemon yellow and emerald green. This time I didn’t stop on detail so much, I tried to achieve an impressionistic effect, some sense of air and light in the picture.
