Bird in the Blossoms

This is what I call a "break out" painting:  creating art that defies the limited background then breaks out to successfully draw our attention to the unique design.  How is it done?
I start by drawing the image and then adding artists tape which determines the background area which is carefully painted first.  The tape is removed so the design can flow without interruption.  This watercolor can be framed without adding a mat since it finishes to look as if one is already there.
