Here is the current progress on my dahlia painting. The colors are not perfect, but I did my best to adjust the photo to match the original. Although I am using a photo reference, I am painting without any underdrawing so it is not as exacting as I would normally work. I’m trying to be a little less planned with this. I’m also waffling between making the colors really bright or more muted. The flowers were more red in the photo but I’m thinking I might actually like the pink now.
