Edges is gouache - help! I’m in a constant battle of muddying the painting, trying to re-find my drawing and fix broken values because the paint dried differently to how it looked when wet. It’s starting to become an impressionistic mess. I tried a damp brush but I am not getting nice results or anything close to what I’m intending to do. I keep adding more paint but I’m not sure if that’s actually the issue.

Still working on the background as well as the rest, but I thought I’d share for any feedback. Really enjoying this class Morgan.

Applying Edges.

My progress until edges portion and a little dip to the painting with color parts. Feedback welcome. I'll try to fiddle with the eyes more if I'm correct that the likeness goes wrong there. Or just leave it like that, still unsure. Will do one more session with this one and then call it done.
