I had to call it on this before it was finished. I made the composition too small so it was very difficult to add details to the eyes. Once all my premixed paint dried up I decided I would just move on to the next assignment.

I regret setting this up on such a small paper (11x15) shooting to finish the whole thing tonight so that I'm not dealing with tacky paint tomorrow or the next day.

There are some issues with this, the paint was getting tacky by the time I applied the last layer, so working edges didn't go as planned. However this is still the best thing I've ever painted and I am so excited to start on Annie!

As I post this I can see the left side of the forehead is too light so I know that's what I'll go into on the next session. I have never painted anything this good and painterly, I am so excited about what I am learning in this course. Thank you!!!!

The harsh edge on the cheek is so tempting to blend out but I'm sticking rigidly to the instruction (which is usually hard for me). Even though it's late, I'm going to watch the next lesson to see if the 2nd layer needs to be done while the 1st layer is still wet.

I did this digitally because I don't have a printer.

First time using the grid method and it's awesome! so excited to see how it looks with paint.
