The wind is realllly howling in Eureka today! JoSonja finished with the Garden of the Golden Finches plate and we worked on the Tea Box. The vase holding the bouquet looks very nice and was much easier to accomplish than we expected. We shaded the flowers that were based yesterday and finished the vase.
On the plate we spent a good bit of time on the roses, there were only two, but the layering technique requires passing over them several times.
Because of the many colors and combinations of shading and highlight, Jo made us a "cue card" which is a color map progression of the color options. That has proved very helpful. Allows the left brain a bit of a rest and eases the concentration of listening to instructions.
Yesterday I had eleven brushes to wash, tonight I fared a bit better. Homework was finishing leaves, and I'm almost done with that. Tomorrow more of the Tea Box.
