Today I was able to add some details to the flower. It has more movement and color now. It's not done - but the direction is apparent. I know where it is going. Now I just have to decide on the back drop - or background of the piece. I always work backwards. Using black paper everything is the opposite of white. You start with the darker colors and then move to the lighter ones. It's easier to change the darker colors, once you start laying on the lighter colors - you can't go back. I always learned to paint the entire composition first - but somehow as a designer - I always stick the major images first -where I want your eye to go to - then I finish the other things that I want you to find, but not distract from the purpose of the picture.
