This was supposed to be a quick 'warm up' painting, but it didn't turn out like that. hey ho. All that matters is that you have fun in the painting process.
No drawing, just use your masking fluid to mark where the seed pod goes, then start mixing lots of paint and get splashing it about. This will help you relax, paint in a less controlled way and gain in confidence.
