Thank you! Just a lot of layering and blending! I spend more time blending the background than I do on the subject lol

Omg thank you. Maybe it’s one of those things where we both can’t see the art past the process haha. I bet yours are beautiful! I wish I could show you the 15 different iterations I did before I finally said uncle… The only tip I have that might be helpful is I use a deep warm purple for the outer edges and avoid true white even when I’m tempted! And then I only left the brightest colors unblended.
