Painting flowers

I have been looking at the photographs of my flower paintings. It is frustrating that the background always appears blueish even though the paper is white. I will have see if I can find a way of compensating for this effect. When I try and adjust the background, the colours of the painting are altered and I don't want that.
              I have purchased an eraser brush from Billy Showell (amazing botanical artist). It can be used to lift out small highlights and even up slightly wiggly edges on stems, leaves etc. Can't wait to have a go and see what its like. I will report back when I have used it.
