Painting the Negative Shapes

After painting the wet into wet green background and allowing it to dry throughly, I then select the areas where I can create a leaf effect by glazing in another wash of green with a negative shape. 

Was growing tired of painting greens, had to switch over to the orange poppy, I will return to the "Leafy Jungle" once I have finished the orange poppy.

  3. Haven't had chance to let you know how wonderful I think this is. I am so glad you are going to add it to your workshops. So many artists don't see the negative shapes. Of course one must know what positive looks like. Ha ha!!
