| To cover up the wubbles and lack of sizing, I had to go very dark, and didn't like it. So ... |
 |
| I started again. I masked all the leaves, and started glazing the background. |
 |
| ... and glazing |
 |
| ... and more glazing |
 |
| ... and yet more glazing, till I was satisfied I had a rich and noticeably-graded background. |
 |
| I started the foliage last night [a midnight oil-burner] |
 |
| And I am still getting the colors down on all the leaves. I am sure they will need at least 2 more glazes. |
Wow! I love this...you have a lot of patience to start over...Beautiful so far!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the graded wash - it is softer and not over powering, yet still pushes the flower forward. Of course the star of the show is that amazing flower! I am looking forward to seeing it finished :0)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this completed. Great start. I have a hard time using that masking fluid so that is why I do with out it.
ReplyDeleteAll that work was worth it for the background, wow is it fabulous!! Sometimes the backgrounds stress me out way more than the subject matter. Looking fabulous:))
ReplyDeleteSo far the background is really good...keep it up :-))
ReplyDeleteI love the glow in the background created by the layers after layers of glazes. The flower is looking good -- it's a complicated image and require a lot of work! I'm looking forward to your next update...
ReplyDeleteOh I love these- to see you work, and work- and then presto- it will be all done.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what glazing is? Maybe my mama knows- she likes to paint too
love

The graded wash in the background is working really better than the previous one. It is quiet evident now itself. I guess the final painting will be really nice.
