A Big Project Continues ... or ... All I See Is GREEN!

Here is where I was 3 days ago

First few background washes

Background around flower done. May have to darken around leaves.
   The background around the flower is done. It was a bit harrowing at times, with pigment moving around as I wet the paper for a wash. I think I'll have to get an Isobey squirrel mop; they're apparently much softer. If anyone knows where I could buy one, in or around Vancouver, B.C., please let me know.
   Now I'll tackle the flower, which I hope will be just fussy and not too difficult. Then the leaves will most likely need some shadowing and touching up. To be continued ...

  1. This is going to be really great, impressed with how dark your dark background is, I struggle with darks in a painting, can't wait to see you work the flower. Maria.

  3. Wow, I missed this one when it first posted. Looks like it's going to be a knock out when it's finished. Can't wait to see more!
