NCBG Acrylic Feb. & Mar. 2017

Acrylic on a texture background.  I started this on a background that had some areas I did not like.  I had already started working to fix those areas, but have more to do.  I started the plant by painting the leaves the local colors and white for the pea flower.  I typically either start a textured piece either with white (when it's a dark background) or with local color (when it's a lighter background) or a combination of the two (often on a medium background).  This photo is poor, it;s from my phone which takes only ok photos.

I have fixed the background with yellow, white, and some red.  I have added more white to the pea flower.  I have started shading with the white on the leaves and stems.  I will continue with the white.
