I used pencil crayons, caran d’ache water soluble crayons, watercolor paint, stamps, stencils, and brushes to move this piece along. I wanted the feeling of a trellis without painting a trellis. I like it so far but I think I’ll need to strengthen the darks a bit more with a warm color… right now it’s wandering over to the cool side and I want to keep warm dominant. Any thoughts out there?
The left side is reading very well. Perhaps if you painted over some of the texture behind the main flower it would pop the large flower a bit? It is hard to tell from the photo, but I think there is too much of the printmaking texture showing -too many tiny white bits , which can be calmed down by putting a w/c wash over it. I like what you have done so far very much!
