Lavender painting

Hey guys! I thought I would show you what I painted today. This was just a quick piece, done freehand, with no sketching prior to the painting. This was done more for practise than anything else so I expected nothing from it, but I like how it turned out. I wanted to make the lavender and the ground quite textured and I feel I achieved that! I again used a minimal palette, of yellow ochre, mauve, violet, sap green, and raw sienna. I used a rigger brush to achieve the look of the lavender stalks, a (quite dry) hog hair fan brush to achieve the bushy lavender, and I blended the sap green with a bit of yellow ochre and a standard round tip paintbrush. As it was such a quick piece I don't feel the need to add sky as it was only for practise. Hope you enjoy!
