When I was learning to paint many years ago, we base coated the piece, the painted the objects. Now, after many years I work the background at the same time as I work the subject of the painting. The artist should use the background to increase the interest and movement within the painting. Her I am adding additional contrast and movement to the background with a soft white. This will increased the movement around the center of interest and ultimately push the flower forward. I so enjoy painting like this. I feel my paintings have much more interest than just basic backgrounds.
