Hi all! I am using this portraiture to demostrate a technique tip....
If you will notice the background, it is a faint trace of flowers....The way you achieve this is to
lighten the same color as the promanent background. Then lay down some random flower shapes. If you need to lighten more, then just add some white....After a few seconds of drying, take a large wash brush and "scrub" it into the background. You can repeat this in layers, until you are satisfied with the look. You can use this technique anywhere in your painting, remembering to let the images dry for a few seconds. You can also get a blurred, misty effect this way.....I often add a touch of color or white, and "scrub" it into the existing background. All the white imagry you see coming through on this painting, is done with this technique. Any questions?? Just post them for me.......All for today....Donna :)
