Day 29 –Lantana in progress

Here are step by step views of a close up painting in progress of lantana clusters. This is done on 300 lb paper and is 11″ x 15″.  After the soft first stage is done and completely dry, then the fun begins of negative and positive painting to bring out the blooms.

The next step will be to map out the stems and leaves, probably using the acetate laid on top to plan some choices.  That’s on the “to do” list for today!
