The blue-ish background really was annoying my eyes since beginning.
Why I started with blue?
Well...
The truth is - I had no clue what background I like to have...
And yet, I was struggling to paint over the large area of free space...
So the easy solution was to get a wider flat brush, and cover it up.
I did achieve sort of interesting texture, a bit too coarse to my taste, but at least I managed to cover the background up - job done.
But blue colour nowhere was close to compliment my painting, to support the atmosphere of my pose...
I've made sort of attempt yesterday to change it, to make some light source...
Poor attempt it was (see the photo).
It was nonsense, to paint it like this, but I knew I need to get rid of that blue-ish background...
Today I gave it another go.
Now the whole background is much more adorable, is complimenting the portraiture, and I've created the light source as sort of steam...
Yes.
I like it now.
Interesting is - of how camera did change the main subject's colour(me ) in relation to the new background!?
