Now I want to paint a still life, but I am sure it will take me months to get to it. <br /><br />I especially loved the white out tube use...clever!<br /><br />You would have laughed at me this evening...I was using my Ott light (it IS a great light) trying to figure out how sunlight might look coming through a window...on the wall and then hitting a figure standing off to the side of it. I ripped holes in a paper towel and held it this way and that trying to see where the shadows were falling. I took out my books on Wyatt, Hopper, and Schmid. And even after all that my shadows are still lot right. <br /><br />I quit...just kidding. :)<br /><br />I love how you did your fracturing in this one. Did you use a larger brush than you normally do?
