So far there is shading on a couple of the flowers and I need to work on the last two and shading on the others. Im also contemplating what the background color should be..any ideas?

Week 3

This week so far i have begun my first of 2 paintings. The picture on the left is the start of the painting and the picture on the right is the start of the first purple flower. I have not started my main shading yet. What I plan to do is take a light to help guide me what should be lighter and which places should be darker.

      Today was an amazing day! I finished up stretching out both canvas for my project. I then went over them with a white paint to finish them off and tighten up the canvas material. Im so excited to start painting. Im going to start both paintings that way if I get tired of doing one there is the other one to do.
      A problem that I faced when starting the white primer was that it bends the canvas and contorts the rectangular shape. So in order to fix this I laid down a bottle of paint on each corner so the canvas would dry properly.
