This painting was created using step-by-step instructions from a book. I don't think I got quite the same result as the book, but I am still pretty pleased with the painting I got. My only real problem with this lesson is the sky - why and how does the author use a number 6 round to fill in the sky? I used a number 12 round (which I still consider small for this task) and ended up with a fairly uneven wash. I know some of this has to do with my paper choice (I use 140 lb. paper because it's inexpensive and easy to find) and some short brush strokes on the right - I just wonder why the writer didn't mention a flat or hake brush for the expanse of the sky. Weird.
