First wet the background around the flowers and drop in color (I used rose, cerulean, some mixed green, a warm and cool yellow). While it was still wet, shiny, but not puddles, I dropped on some salt and let it sit and do its work. After that was dry I brushed off the salt and painted the branches using a mixed brown (3 primaries leaning towards red and yellow). Then i painted the leaves and shaded the flowers (with rose). Everything was painted light, I will add darks and details later. |
