Hello all.

I finally got started on this, lol. I stuck with the blurred out foliage idea in the background. The detail doesn't show very well in the photo at all. I also blocked in basic tones for the lawn. Gah, I have grass blades to do next...phooooo!!!!

Is lighter than this in real life. These tones don't seem to photograph very well.

Mostly in acrylic and dry watercolour pencil so far. I used dry watercolour pencil over the acrylic on the foliage in the background.
