Windflower- Digital Watercolour Painting in Progress Day Two

I haven't made a list of all the problems with this painting. I got a comment yesterday from my

digital artist friend 'dwsel .' Dwsel Digital Artist on Deviant Art I quote, "I really like spray and stencil effect here. In my opinion flower in left corner is in different style and generally its placement breaks composition. I would fill this space with hint of green leaves and maybe a little bug on them making optical illusion of sitting on canvas (like in Trompe-l'œil art http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe_l%27oeil ;) ? "

 

This is the second version (well, really it's about the 10th but you don't want to see all of them!)

 

I started a new background in a new document. Used a watercolour soft bristle to paint the grass in the background. I wanted it to look a little wind tossed, these are wind flowers afterall! I think the odd looking bud in the bottom foreground is a dandelion. I used a half opacity straight Cloner brush to clone these flowers from a previous version. It's a good way to reuse parts of a painting that did work in a new version. The advantage of digital over virtual!! Thank you Corel Painter!
