What doesn't show in the photographs that I am posting is the overpainting which serves to darken areas already painted, or the areas that I have 'blotted' to lighten them slightly. There are also sometimes areas that have been slightly changed because of an accident with paint. I occasionally have paint on parts of my hand, which is then accidentally transferred to the areas of the painting already painted (as in the session today!) I then have to blot them off with clean water and, once dry, rescue the area by changing the shape or colour. You may notice a slight change in colour to yesterdays post which had more natural light than todays and is, therefore, more true to life.
