Still working away on the bird of paradise plant. I thought I'd better get some background in—and good thinking, too. My hope was that darkening the background would make the flower pop more. Yet, it seems as if the flower isn't as bright as it was against the white! But there's still a way to go before it's finished, so maybe it'll turn out yet.

Seems like everyone is painting leaves, doesn't it? They really are quite interesting. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in September...and until then, virtually.
This is gorgeous! Love the square format. Color wise it does pop, but maybe the darkest patches are a little too dark and draw the eye? But if the flower has more color yet to be painted that could make it pop more. The leaves are beautifully painted …
ReplyDeleteReminds me a little bit like Steve. I think you’ll brighten up that pink part and things will become apparent.
ReplyDeleteI'd darken the background before I'd put more paint on the flower, maybe like those washes Dan put on his lion yesterday.
