I have covered most of the surface with the first steps in describing the textures, shapes, and forms. Now I will begin to "push and pull" shapes building up the darker transparent layers and developing depth in the painting.

Regarding Yellow
One of the wonderful characteristics about watercolor is its ability to appear luminous. Because watercolor is a transparent medium, the colors that are put on the surface first will influence the following layers. I consider yellow to be one of these "foundation" colors. If I want a finished area to have a warm glow, I will first put down a layer of yellow. Much of the "yellow" in this painting, for example, is foundation for what will be rich, warm, luminous dark spaces.

This piece is going to be so fabulous!!! Such a wonderful subject for shadow paly and luminous color!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
Looking great. I loved the complexity from the first time I saw it.
Maybe see you tomorrow, but I'll probably be on the later side. Today is framing day and I hope it doesn't spill over into tomorrow!
