Negative Painting of White Jasmine

This was my first attempt at negative painting and of a white flower. I didn't find the negative painting as easy as some art tutorials make it seem but I had used non-staining watercolour paints, and transparents where I could, so I was able to alter where I felt best. Although not perfect, I feel it isn't too bad for a first attempt. The reference photo was one of mine which I took some years ago in my garden. I used Daniel Smith watercolour paints.

I am trying so hard to get back into painting and instead of just relaxing and splashing about, I keep trying to do something worthy of hang...
