Apple Blossom -two ways


I posted this to show the Apple Blossom we were painting in my watercolor classes, one shows the flower cluster without a background, and the other with a background added after painting the flowers.
Here is the finished painting.
As I discussed in the previous posting, the luminous dark background was achieved by painting several layers of color by glazing one over the other allowing the previous color to shine through. Little bits of more intense color were dropped in to allow for a more interesting effect than just a flat background.
