Much happier with the results this time. It isn't perfect - but I was able to recognize one of my big mistakes and correct it. One of the problems I have been running into in recent paintings is that the paint that goes onto the paper is so transparent I have to work the surface multiple times. The solution is in the way that the paint gets mixed - I allow too much water into the mixture (especially when multiple colors are mixed together).
I would like to apply glazes to enhance the shadows, but I haven't had any success with that technique yet. I'm going to call this a success for the day. I'll be doing some research and exercises to figure out how to enhance the shadows for future paintings.
