Acrylic Painting Demonstration
Zinnia Part 3

Step 6: Clean up
This was basically the final step before adding the Stamens. I took out a few unnecessary small petals. Reshaped a few to look nicer. Darkened my background as the vibrant colors just weren't popping as much as I had wanted with the softer background. While I did hate sacrificing that, it just wasn't allowing the glow I was looking for. I also added the final bit of Magenta and Quiller Violet to the petals.

All that is left is a final coat on the background to even it up where there are thin areas that soaked into the Ampersand Aquaboard, add the stamens, and sign it. :)
