I posted this rose last summer with the background as is and the background in the original was distracting to say the least with big blotches of color from other flowers against the green. In this version, I have applied a color wash in the same peach as the flower over the background. I then used a colored texture that I converted to black and white and played around with contrast and brightness and then painted in that texture to the picture using varying degrees of opacity.
Any commentary fair game , am trying to learn a technique of creating soft, backgrounds that add to my flowers. The flower itself here has very little changes to it, so am posting this in Flora rather than photo art.!
