Love your botanical work, Glennis how do you achieve your backgrounds? What paper do you use? As your washes, if it is a wash are excellent on all your work. Love to know.

Thank you for your comments. Peter - I am not fond of backgrounds as you know (mainly because I think it is better to put them in first. This is just a very pale wash, wet in wet. The colours on the flowers were cobalt violet which tends to be grainy but suited its purpose on this flower. Cobalt blue mixed with a little ultramarine for the blue and I also added some translucent turquoise. The paper is Arches hot pressed, 300 grms

I think those are my favourite colours and just perfect for this lovely delphinium.

Unusual coloured flower but thought it would look good painted, a challenge.
