WIP=Work In Progress
Middle Ground and Foreground 2nd Layer
The rose bush will not look anything like it does right now. I will be softening the leaves and working on shadows and highlights to define the bush. The roses will end up a soft red, using the complement color of green to add shadow and calm the brightness down. Green mixed with red depending on how little or how much red or green you use will give you nice shadows and soften harsh colors. Usually, when I shadow I use a complementary color or a purple color, this keeps the colors vibrant. Using black for shadows sucks out all the color and makes a painting look muddy.
Everyone in my house is getting sick, and I have been busy cooking and cleaning like mad and trying to cheer people up. It sucks when one gets sick in the summer, so I try and help out. I don't fill sick yet; maybe I won't get the stomach virus this time around? However, I usually end up getting sick when everyone else is on the mend. I am a typical Mother; we put off illness to care for others.
I've been able to grab a few hours to paint a little bit here and there. Today I was able to sit quietly for two hours straight!
I went back over the background with cerulean blue and covered all my lighter areas with a light wash of cerulean blue (light blue) which gives the painting a dreamy quality. I define the flower beds and rose bush. I worked fast with a lot of wet on wet work to get the bleeding color for variation of foliage in the middle ground flowerbeds.
My second layer of paint is now finished. I will start adding details to the house and deeper shadows. I haven't worked on the cat Cleo yet. I will be working on her in the end when everything is finished.
Cascoon/Poison String/Iron Defense

OMG, this is beautiful. Nice painting @reddust.
@reddust,
By using few layers you show lot of details of the artwork so far! Just imagine when we see the final layer of the artwork! Seriously I would like to spend my life at such kind of dreamy place forever! Keep it up my dear friend!
Cheers~
it seems that this house is set in a forest landscape ,, maybe almost the same as my house ,, i'm so flattered ,, :))
I always dream of a house with a page that can be planted with several trees
This is my dream house too @steemitnatural, we have the same taste in homes and natural settings.
nature gives us the comfort of my friend, we can meditate very calmly
wow ,, my favorite image shows its appearance ,, you are really very careful in choosing the color ,, I become jealous of you my best friend ,, I become more curious about the end result
@steemitcountry and I'm jealous of you Papaya garden, so we are even! I think I will finish this painting before the end of the month. It is coming along very quickly.
ha ha ha .. god gives us different blessings my best friend ,,,
Good job, friend, you show the immense talent you have for art, you are a wonderful person, despite having incredible wisdom, you are a woman with immense talents. Greetings @Reddust
I wish I were wise; it would make every decision I make easier, most of the time I go through life mystified and perplexed about how crazy we all are...
Thank you @deisydavi <3
oh @reddust, your painting is very touching my heart, this is amazing, i was carried away in a fairy tale, a clasic house and filled with flowers.
I am very impressed with the results of your efforts.
thanks have made my heart happy in this picture.
Thank you @milend, this house is typical in many parts of America, it's a classic country cottage. No fairy tales, the garden, and yard take lots of work.
It's a wonderful work again as usual. 3 things caught my attention. The depth of field, red roses and pink flowers. In one word fabulous. Congrats @reddust
Hopefully, my colors won't fight too much, the pink and the red fighting for attention @turkishcrew. The red won't pop as much once I add some pine green shadows. Thank you @turkishcrew, this painting will be hanging in our living room.
I know that always I say the same but you are a wonderful artist. This looks so fucking good. 👏👏👏 Bravo! You are so so amazing making this😍😍😍
hahaha, thank you dear @denissemata, I am feeling pretty fantastic today. It was nice to sit down and paint instead of washing dishes, to cook, and to clean up puke.
I'm sure painting is better than doing those other things. Today I bake a lot and that makes me very happy
I've been baking cookies for the family that hasn't gotten sick, mainly my Grandson; he takes after me, he rarely gets the stomach flu. But I can't eat them, and that makes me sad.
I know you feel, I love to bake too, but I like to eat cookies too!
Today I did not fulfill my diet very well. But already tomorrow I do everything very well. Life is not easy when I have so many sweets and cakes so close to me.
The painting makes me think of a simpler more innocent time. Prayers to you and your loved ones in the sickness you are going though. May you all embrace happy health soon. Thanks @reddust.
@enjoywithtroy, the simpler times have not gone away, we have to make life simple, thank you kindly for the prayers. Let's pray I don't get sick in the end and the family has to clean up after me....(I hate that) hahaha
I have changed the WIP meaning from Work In Progress to Well Intelligent Painting :) It is amazing even if it is the work in progress
Thank you @wondercircle, I like to break complicated or busy paintings into little steps. This makes everythng very simple and easy.
every little steps leads to the target without getting tired :) @reddust
YOU ARE WELCOME
Hi @reddust this sounds awful "Everyone in my house is getting sick" talk me more about it please i mean the virus are strong?
You could be busy but you have the time to creat great drawing for us :). Regards
It's a stomach bug, with achy muscles and a headache @dim753, I feel fit as a fiddle myself. Thank you <3
Oh the stomach problems are so maddening and i know what i say because i have irritable bowel and today i ate some ice cream and you know i accept some pain for the a momentary tasty pleassure hehehe, i hope your family could find a speedy recovery because family is the engine for us. Regards
I took something like that, a painful pleassure hehehe
That looks so yummy and you know I am on a diet...you are teasing me ... hahaha <3
aww everything is very beautiful, you draw very well. I hope everyone recovers at home.
Thank you @rosargelisperez, everyone is on the mend except for my oldest daughter. Her weak area is the stomach, so a stomach virus hits her the hardest out of the family. I hardly get sick from a stomach virus because I have a cast iron stomach.
fantastic natural art.I also love drawing.
well you are very creative when it comes drawings.The way you fix the colours ,shadows
it looks awesome.There is always some improvement in your work
bdw Pokemon's, Cascoon is cute
I'm enjoying watching the progress, and it's coming along nicely in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
It looks beautiful. I think you are right regarding black shadows. Regarding, the cat, I did not notice it till now.
I am a small artist so I like art.
This one is turning into a masterpiece.
Come on how can you paint this efficiently.
The gate of flowers looks wow. I'm amazed to see your painting skills and I'm seriously shocked considering that you didn't painted anymore.
This is the total picture and you made it brilliantly of color and layer, specially on red rose. Hard work, patience and passion make it success.
Wow, this is brilliant. Great drawing
todo una obra de arte muy bellas pinturas
wow!!!!creative art... this deep art prove that you have good creativity in art. this art is so realistic and the background is alive
Water color painting reveals the creativity of the painter. Such a nice color combination. By the way i saw the bush of rose for the first time. May be our region temperature is pretty high so that's why rose bushes are absent in our region. Any way awesome painting. Even your 9 years grand daughter drew an amazing art work. keep it up @reddust
creative @reddust...resteem it
