More flower petals blocked in with some details added. I try to complete the wash over the whole petal and 'blot' with the brush to get the lighter areas. The deeper tones on the sunlit petals are completed when the petal is dry. Once the small deep shadows are added, clean water is used to 'bleed' them into the background of the petal. Daylight has a 'blue' bias so I have made the flowers in darker shadow more blue but this is chancy as I don't want the flowers to appear purple. The focus of the viewer, I hope will be on the 'pinker' sunlit blooms.
