Dec. Road WIP 12-23


Things I learned today, or of which I was reminded:

  1. Add color not detail.
  2. Move from passage to passage, don't get bogged down.
    When I stay too long in one area, I tend to overwork the painting, and the result is mud!
  3. I need to put the piece of chalk down as soon as I finish the ONE thing I picked it up for.
    If I don't, that color works its way into too many places.
