These yellow flowers have had 3 coats of sun yellow plus 3 coats of light kiwi green on there centres
The pumpkin is also ready to go in the kiln glazed in aptly names Pumkin orange glaze, with sea mist green for the stalk, leaf and dots so all ready to go in the kiln when I’ve finished painting on the glazes for a few more flowers..
