Clematis Step by Step (Day 1)

Step 4

All the petal and leaves have a first layer of color.  The dark

shapes come  next. Love painting the high contrast with that

spring sunshine.  This photograph was taken at my mother-in-laws

this past Spring.  Her pride and JOY!

Work in Progess.....hope to finish this week.
