Expand that into a good composition.
Then with brush and paint try to feature that special part, without it dominating
Remembering the whole should be greater than the sum of parts.
All the while using liquid paint that has an infinite number of values and colors and is applied with a bush containing a thousand wild hairs.
The bigger the brush the better.
