Here are images of my painting, "Spring from the Earth" from start to finish:
here is the prepared canvas with some paper and fabric glued on then
a variety of colors added.

Here I have roughed in a design with chalk.

I've started defining the shapes by painting in the negative space and adding a little color (like the green leaves of the tulips).

I've added more color to the sky and defined the shapes a bit more.

I changed the shape of the daffodil by painting violet over part of it.

I brought in some pattern by stamping a darker yellow into the sky.

This is the finished painting. I got rid of the daffodil, did some more stamping into the flowers and cat, and integrated the stamping by painting into it with the colors around the stamping.
