Iris Mandala: Day 9

3/21/08: It's been about 8 days since I had an opportunity to color the Iris Mandala. I've been busy with the business end of things. During this past week I have been sketching some ideas for future projects which look promising.

Anyway back to the Iris Mandala. I finished coloring the side petals of all 6 irises. As before, I'm using light peach, lightfast light peach, lightfast orange, and black grape. I added another layer of lightfast orange over the lower petals. Over all of the petals I added a light 'wash' of goldenrod to warm them up a bit, which at this resolution and distance is a little difficult to notice. I also added a wash of goldenrod to the center gold 'posts', with the warmth of the iris colors, the posts were looking more of a lime green versus the golden color that I intended.
