Iris Mandala: Day 11

4/2/08: I finished the upper left hand iris. For this section, rather than use an orange pencil, I created the orange using canary yellow and scarlet lake red. It gives it more texture and makes it brighter (in my humble opinion).

The beard of the iris was colored with lemon yellow, goldenrod, black grape, and canary yellow.
Here's a close-up view of the finished iris. Happy coloring! Maiah
