Greek Steps - Finished
We scattered a few more petals and rocks about to mess it up - it was looking a little too orchestrated. I ended up repainting the two pots in the background as they were looking very flat. I gave them more shadow and highlight. As we used a palette knife for this painting, I might wait for about 6 months before I varnish it. You want to make sure the paint is dry before you varnish - I usually wait about 3 months but it depends on how thick the paint is.
Thanks for the congrats on my award Markn. Have fun doing the Greek Steps. If you have any problems let me know.
