Hydrangea in Blue

Another experiment with one of my painted paper backgrounds.  Instead of drawing my subject on the paper, I decided to make some foam stamps of the hydrangea blooms and print these onto the background with white gesso.  It was then a case of using fluid acrylics, watercolour pencil and both negative and positive painting to bring the flowers out of the background.
