Your guess is as good as mine

One coat of a mix of purple and yellow over the original magenta paint pour for Sky Pads 29.

Little test sheet to see how color layers react.

Well, the magenta undercoat hasn’t totally disappeared but it has acquired some new color. I did a little test run by painting some magenta and yellow on a palette sheet and dropping other colors over it. I coded the test sheet so I could remember what I did, but you can’t really see what I wrote through the glare.

Anyhow, this background will be getting progressively darker. I don’t know how many layers it will take to do that, but I will keep going until I get there. The main water lily subject matter will go on top of this background, just like it did for Sky Pads 27. This one will be a bit more subdued however.
