| This is generally where I am heading ... |
 |
| Format size is about 10 x 12 inches. I have almost all of the local leaf color down; now the FUN part. This is going to be a long, slow haul. Almost of the painting is being done w/w, using small to tiny brushes. It does make a difference to the quality of depth and the 3-D effect, so I will continue with it. |
 |
| 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. |
