This piece was originally from a photograph by Jim-B. I painted what I saw on the internet, and instead of the leaves being the main focus, I made the flowers more of a perspective by making them brighter than they really were. This was done with acrylics on black construction paper and I used the standard "Paint on paint" technique. The simplicity of the photograph deserved a more common approach, so both verticle and horizontal swipes of the brush were used. Lastly, I outlined the main flowers of focus with a sharp pin around the edges to make it "pop" out at you. I used black dry brush on the leaves to make them receed into the backround.
