Dazzling Dahlia Again


After posting my dahlia on WetCanvas and getting some sage advice from the skilled watercolorists there, I decided to tone the background down a few notches. It was competing too much with the flower. It still looks a bit bright in the image but is much more subtle IRL.

i agree, Mary. less focus on the bg and more on the flower. toning down that green has made this a better comp.
