Christmas Cactus 5

I decided to paint in a wash background on this painting before attempting to paint more detail. I think the rough background works well as it gives depth to the painting. I also think the teacup is showing up a little better on a darker background. I allowed the paint to dry then added details once the first two layers were dry.
