… and the last from today. We painted the backgrounds of our paper in gray, gray-blue, or glitter-purple-blue (hello, this one) to establish a middle tone, and then we have to work out the dark and the light – and all the other stuff too. Okay’den… #paintingsofflowers #flowerpainting Grazie @carmeloblandinoart and @art_escape_italy @casa_berti

First (presentable) painting. Soooo out of my box. Flowers. Loose. Acrylics. Crazy. Love it. @carmeloblandinoart @art_escape_italy @casa_berti
