The desk is a bit of a mess with a new palette arrangement. I had been using a plastic palette but the paint was staining the plastic and it was hard to get a good match when mixing colours. Have now moved to a heavy duty plate which I can wipe clean. The other odd thing on my desk is the toilet roll covered in paper towel. When the outer layer gets covered in paint I replace the sheets of paper towel and the the inner roll just draws off the moisture. Sounds odd but it seems to be working well and takes up less space on a crowded desk. On the left are notes from Anna Mason's tutorial.
Almost finished painting the Phalaenopsis and hope to complete it on the weekend. Just needs some finishing touches. Not sure about the painted background?.... do tell me what you think. Always good to try something different at least now I have a good understanding of the structure of the plant and will probably paint another plant without a background.
Have a great woyww and I plan to slowly visit lots of desks over the week.
