refining the painting


Starting to work on the flowers

More refining and brightening up the whole painting.  I highly recommend
a red gel for your work.  It allows you to see values more accurately.

Constantly pushing and scraping.  I do have a vision in my head and I continue
to maneuver the paint around til I can see the finish.  When I started on this I was
going to make the vase solid and the table white.  The vase needed to be transparent and
the table painted white was just glaring. My eye kept going to that spot and it's not what
I wanted.  So I toned down the table and added some orange to the white til it was a tone
I could live with and didn't fight the flowers.
