Are you being literal? then be literal. Either that or paint flowers according to your fancy and who cares about the shadows?!?! your background is elegant, colors you don't see much in watercolor, so I am unused to them.<BR/>that last leaf on the bottom pulls your eye down to the edge.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062266088887216663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-74586913223221496002009-03-21T08:19:00.000+10:002009-03-21T08:19:00.000+10:00I'd add a glaze of red mixed with opposing green t...I'd add a glaze of red mixed with opposing green to the bottom of each bud and to back side of most of the leaves. <BR/><BR/>The bigger problem is thay look flat, especially the one on the table and its corresponding leaf doesn't look convincing either. The leaf on the table also has the table shadow going right through it.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about that JJ.mackbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622082396757299739noreply@blogger.com
