Purple Rose and learning

I really struggled with this painting. I tried to work with a new type of canvas and found it very difficult to manipulate the color. It never ceases to amaze me that the littlest things can make such a big difference. Blending on this purple rose did not go well at all and I am not really pleased. Oh well I guess you have to try new things to learn new things. I know now that I won't use this type of canvas again.
