So I started to do the background wet-in-wet, and didn't like what was happening. Weird backruns!!! So I quickly washed most of it off. While it was drying, I painted the dark spaces between the leaves.
Now to give the background another shot. It's too big to do it wet-in-wet,
so I'm going to let everything dry first, and then mix up a big puddle of sap green and start from the left side and turn the paper as I go until I get to the right side. I'll be back!
Hmm...better..or not?. I also added a few more leaves to close up the gap in the center.
I'd like to try to add those blurry flowers in the background that I tried to add before. This may, or may not work. We'll see.
I made some light pink shapes, and some slightly darker green shapes in the background, and softened the edges with a damp brush. Not what I had originally planned, and not as good as the painting I was seeing in my imagination, but good enough.
Hope you have fun with this one.
