Lady Pat

I'm in the process of painting these wonderful Pat Austin roses. I love strolling along the walkways in the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden among all those wonderful fragrances. These roses are some of my favorites - they move from beautiful golden yellows to apricot coral in color. I'm using mixtures of New Gamboge with Quinacridone Coral, Permanent Rose and a bit of Winsor Red or Permanent Alizarin for the darks in the petals. Greens are mixed using the same New Gamboge with Phthalo Blue or Antwerp Blue and rich blacks are made with Permanement Alizarin mixed with Winsor (Phthalo) Green
