Learning to Paint Negatively in Digital Watercolour Florals

Painting Negatively Doesn't Mean You Think You Are a Lousy Painter

This is something that I have tried without success so many times, but I feel that it is essential to master it. I didn't get it right this time. I think it's because I didn't have a clear idea of the shapes in the foliage. It's actually harder than you think to see all the 'layers' when trying to paint the negative spaces. I keep going back to a positive shapes and gettting lost.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Some screen captures of the painting in progress. It looks like it has more depth of field.
 
Hope I have more luck with the soup I'm going to make for dinner ...without a recipe of course! Turkey Sausage and Lentils...
