Yes you are right about the colour. These are experiments and my usual
method is to leave colour to last so that I can get the overall balance
right.
I've just started messing with different pigment patterns and I'm having
real problems creating the right effect. I think its due to the rotation of
the grass blades, when they are side on they virtually dissapear and there
seems to be great holes in the grass. I haven't yet found a combination of
pattern and rotation that works.
