I had to google how to spell "lilies". It felt like it wanted two l's.
Anyway, there guys are from "my" food bank, leftovers with bunches of other flowers, from Mom's Day. Lucky me! I've also had pink tulips all week.

I'm finding out with gouache that you need to get your brights and lights down first. Otherwise it'll take too many coats to bring something up to a bright light. Here I went very gingerly with the light yellows, and later decided that it had gotten too chalky, so added more bright at the end. (Chalky is one of the dangers, I am finding, with gouache.) In some places I treated the paint like watercolor.

Below is a possible crop. You can cut this one anyway you like.

Another gouache of blossoms, but this time I let some of the watercolor properties of the gouache play out.
And I let go a little bit of my need to "blend" everything. Less frustrating.

Didn't this one turn out nicely?
I like how the white pops against the dark colors, even though there really isn't much white left here.
Hope you all are having a blessed Easter weekend.
