Masked out all the whites.

Darken the background and starting to define the flowers....

Lacy Days

I started this as an exercise in my watercolor class last week as my students wanterd to learn how to paint lace (and crystal.)

Painted a little bit in the class for the demo and fell in love with painting lace. After the class was over, I ended up just sitting there and finishing the rest of the painting... It was fun and fast! :D
