We will show you how to change value and colors smoothly, how to plan your color/value scheme so that the background works compatibly with the focal point(s) that will be attached to it. The RPB is a piecing process but the key here is that the shapes are placed and stitched Randomly so not only you will control the look of your background but you will also have ease of piecing, as there are NO points that meet in this pieced background unlike some controlled pieced stitching.
