4-color Abstract Floral in Vase View explanation of color wheel here:   BobBlast 98 at 3:55 Step 1: Define your colors:      a. Dominant color 80%      b. Focal point color 10%      c. Spice color #1 5%      d. Spice color #2 5% Step 2: Wipe in a warm base all over canvas. I use orange. Step 3: Place the floral shapes varying size, shape, color, and location. Apply the proportions from step 1. Use shades of the 4 colors to add color. Step 4: Paint in background and table colors. These are your dominant color. The table should be lighter than the wall. Step 5: Shape the vase and place stems inside. Once dry add highlights and final color. Shadow is very important. Step 6: Add detail to flowers and table.
