Oh my stars . . . this painting has gone through so many changes I can't even count! That background was crazy. First it was all blue . . . then one of my students suggested it needed another color, so I added red. Yowzers! It was like a Fourth of July firework exploded all over the page. So then I washed the whole thing out with lots of water -- and color oozing and dripping all over the place. Oh, wait before that, I decided to SAND the background. Yes . . . you read that correctly -- I used a piece of fine grit sandpaper and sanded the background to age it a bit. (Incidentally this painting is on Fabriano cold-pressed paper so I knew it could take the abuse.) Then I put a burnt sienna wash over it . . . then I just went for it and that's when I added all the water and mushed everything around. I did some more burnt sienna -- added faint colors to the pattern . . . touched up the milk and cookies a tad and called it a day! Whew! I need a nap. :)
