Lessons

Today I found out that the water blasting technique doesn't work if you put a glaze on the underpainting. All of the paint slips right off, and you're left with nothing but underpainting. Shoot. A whole day in the studio wasted. I hate having to learn lessons the hard way.

This is a detail from another water-blast piece I did today that looks interesting:

It's hard to keep the white parts clean! I'm not all that neat when it comes to painting, and I'm not sure what to do about that.
