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.
this is such a beautiful flower Billie. Your talent in watercolour is enviable.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by and commenting, Jeanette! i'm finally starting to loosen up a bit and really enjoy this medium.
ReplyDeleteBillie it really picked it up, it is a gorgeous painting.
ReplyDeletei agree, Mary. less focus on the bg and more on the flower. toning down that green has made this a better comp.
