combine a background wash with a sketch, then out line the leaves and petals to pop the space. I added more grey to the background but think I liked the green I had there before better.

Lessons help

Beginners classes are great for learing some techniques. The top 3 are lessons from a class- learning underpainting, negative painting, graded washes. The botton two try to put some of those things to work in plein aire painting. I started in June and these paintings were done in August.
