If
your background appears too vibrant in color and you want to make it recede,
add
a thin wash of a complimentary color.
For
instance, in the above painting, the foliage behind Quinn was too much of a
vibrant green.
It
was competing with her and there wasn't any depth in the painting.
To
make it recede, I added a pale wash of red to tone it down and push it back.
This
brought Quinn forward more and made her pop.
