The steps for this painting:
The set up I used for this painting. That is a piece of construction paper taped to a box for the background color. I got this idea from Carol Marine. I just bought a cheap pack of it from Michael's.
Feel free to use this photo for your own painting.
I did this notan with my value viewer to see if I liked the composition. I was satisfied with the pattern of lights and darks and the path of darks through the painting.
The next step is blocking in the big shapes in a thin wash. Before doing this I did a loose drawing of the shapes including shadow shapes. (I forgot to take a photo of this step.)

Final phase included adding more detail especially to zinnia in front. The hydrangea in back is very loose.
Last step: Posted painting on Daily Paintworks. It is an 8x 10.
