not as bad as I thought


I almost left early because I thought this was a lost cause. I scraped off one eye and moved it 1/2 inch with a half-hour to go and thought I was flailing around matching colors for the repaint. One thing that helped though, was that the first color I painted was the local color at the border of light and shade. Thinking about it, it makes sense to start with this "true" color and then make lights and shades relative to it. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that before, but I'm going to try to stick with this rule for a while.

Next morning I thought better of my efforts. My camera is adding saturation, but I like the effect. 16" x 14" - 3 hours.
