So now our flowers are dry. And even though we did a nice, very subtle background, I just want to go in and create a teeny bit of a halo around each of these flowers. So again, same procedure, I'm just wedding around each of the flowers just to saturate my paper. I do this around both. And then while I have my big brush, I'll put a little puddle of water on my paper at a little this Ceridian blue, little Prussian blue as well and a big brushstroke of water. I'm gonna switch to my number six brush.

And I'll start here with the one on the left just because I'm right handed, and I'm going to create a nice thick edge here. Go up a few pedals. Then I'll rinse my brush and blend that color out. Again, I'll blend it out with the base as well. Turn my painting around, create that nice thick edge and blend that out. Just want a little more intensity right by my actual image here creates a little bit of a shadow and a little focal point.

I don't want to disrupt the little bursts of color we have in the background. I want them to look like their flowers out of focus or at least hint at that. Go around, I add my blue and then I just add a little water to blend it out. Do the same thing on this plant this flower. Oh yeah, the blue down the sides and then blend it out. With a wet brush I blend out the edges so there's no harsh edges, just a little more intensity of color, right by our image.

Flip this over continue with it. And continue with it on this side. So here for the background we started with wet on wet. Then we built up our image. And now we're just going back and adding more wet on wet to create a little more intensity and draw the eye to our image. I can go back in with a smaller brush and a little more pigment and just drop in some color right at the edges here.

And then any errors that didn't blend out, I'll just add in a little water and continue to blend those out. And there we have our third image.
