A few more dark spots between the leaves. My style of painting takes patience, not just to do, but to follow. It may be noticed that there is a leaf on the right half of the painting that is a little paler. I had originally blocked it in darker but decided that I wanted it a little lighter. It is still in shade but not so far back as to be as dark as I originally made it.So, I 'blotted' off some of the colour. When dry, I shall add the leaf texture again with a slightly different hue and, hopefully, it will end up a little lighter in tone. Watercolours can't be removed or painted over when dry without great influence on the subsequent layers, but by blotting some of the stronger paint off it is possible to change the tone and colour slightly.
