3rd Lesson - Marylyn Mayo

I further broke up large sections of colour with both darks and lights, feathering off as I went.  Lastly, I used a dabbing action with my brush to bring some of the background forward using stronger highlights.  These dabs of paint are slightly sharper to show depth in the background.  I brought these sharper dabs around the left-hand side so that the foliage will eventually be in front of the sitter.
