Things I like about this:
I like the background
I like the color
I like the composition
Things I don't like:
Probably too many dots ;)
Some of the background leaves are bad
Things I learned:
I'm getting better at softening edges
I felt a little more in control (!)
Though it sat around for awhile, it went faster
Next time, I won't wet the paper and then do dots--or lines, as they fade into nothingness!!
What I'll do next time:
Plan the background, not do it willy-nilly (like I did here)
Get a photographic reference
Overall, I am beginning to see improvement. And that's a good thing.:)
