Peacock update

[Swedish leo]

I have made some more work on my peacock.
I primarily use textil color to paint the bird. But today I used Derwent Ink tense color pencil behind the bird.
I am trying to make it look like the bird is sitting on the ground.
I am rather pleased with how it turned out.

Now for the pink background.

Should I do grid work or stippling or do you have an other idea ?

It need some quilting to recede and let the bird pop.

Whoa! You've got it in hand.

Are you asking about the light yellow area around the head of the bird in the top left corner? I think I'd leave it plain, or maybe do some small stippling. That looks fantastic!

Thank you. No I mean the pink border area outside of the bird.
